PRESIDENT TINUBU ARRIVES IN ACCRA FOR DRAMANI MAHAMA’S INAUGURATION

President Bola Tinubu arrived Accra, Ghana, yesterday to attend the inauguration of President-elect John Mahama scheduled to hold today.

Chief of Staff to the outgoing Ghanaian President, Julius Debra, received President Tinubu at the airport.

President Tinubu, who is the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the ECOWAS, will join other African leaders to witness the swearing in ceremony of the new Ghanaian President and his Vice.

President Tinubu’s trip to Accra is at the invitation of the president-elect, who had visited the Nigerian leader earlier in December.

Mahama and President Tinubu have a longstanding personal relationship, just like Nigeria and Ghana maintain a longstanding bilateral relationship.

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mrs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu and other senior government officials will accompany President Tinubu on the trip.
