President Bola Tinubu would depart Abuja on Monday, January 6, for Accra, the capital of the Republic of Ghana, to attend the inauguration of President-elect, John Dramani Mahama on January 7.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy,
Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
Mahama, who served as the 12th president of Ghana between 2011 and 2017, was reelected in December 2024.
He will succeed President Nana Akuffo-Addo who served from 2017-2025.
Onanuga said President Tinubu’s trip to Accra was at the invitation of the president-elect, who had visited the Nigerian leader earlier in December.
According to him, Mahama and President Tinubu have a longstanding personal relationship, just like Nigeria and Ghana maintain a longstanding bilateral relationship.
He said that President Tinubu, as Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, would join other African leaders at the ceremony.
He revealed that the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mrs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and other senior government officials will accompany President Tinubu on the trip.
