Tinubu meets Obasanjo, Jonathan, others at Ghana President’s inauguration
President Bola Tinubu, alongside former Nigerian leaders Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, joined a host of African dignitaries on Tuesday in Accra for the historic inauguration of Ghana’s new president, John Mahama.
Mahama, who previously served as Ghana’s president, returned to office after succeeding Nana Akufo-Addo, his successor in 2017.
The ceremony also marked a groundbreaking moment as Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang was sworn in as Ghana’s first female vice president.
Addressing the audience, Tinubu reaffirmed Nigeria’s unwavering support for Ghana under Mahama’s leadership, describing him as a leader of “patriotic vision and substance.” He called for unity among African nations, stating, “You can always count on Nigeria’s support.”
In his inaugural speech, Mahama expressed gratitude for the presence of Tinubu and other dignitaries, pledging to deepen ties within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and to work toward regional prosperity.
The event underscored the strengthening bond between Ghana and Nigeria, offering a vision of unity and progress for the West African region.
