President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, alongside former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, was in Accra, Ghana, on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, for the historic inauguration of President John Dramani Mahama.

The high-profile event drew dignitaries and leaders from across the continent, celebrating Mahama’s return to power after a keenly contested election in Ghana. The presence of Nigeria’s current and former leaders underscored the close diplomatic and cultural ties between the two West African nations.

President Tinubu, representing Nigeria, emphasised the importance of fostering regional unity and cooperation during his interactions with other heads of state at the ceremony.

Former Presidents Obasanjo and Jonathan, both respected figures in African diplomacy, further highlighted Nigeria’s commitment to supporting democracy and peaceful transitions of power in the region.

Mahama, who previously served as Ghana’s President from 2012 to 2017, took the oath of office amid widespread celebrations in Accra. His inauguration marks a new chapter for Ghana’s political landscape, with expectations of revitalised policies and regional collaboration under his leadership.

The event also served as a platform for African leaders to discuss shared challenges and strategies for growth, with President Tinubu and his counterparts emphasising the need for collective action on issues such as economic development, security, and climate change.

The ceremony, attended by international diplomats and Ghanaian citizens alike, highlighted the resilience of democracy in Ghana, further solidifying its reputation as a beacon of stability in West Africa.
