President Bola Tinubu is currently in Ghana for the inauguration ceremony of President John Mahama.

Tinubu arrived in Ghana on Monday, January 6th, to attend Mahama’s swearing-in ceremony, which was held at Black Stars Square in Accra.

The event brought together many distinguished personalities from Nigeria and around the world.

Among those present were Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Olusegun Obasanjo, President of the African Development Bank, Akinwumi Adesina, and his wife Yemisi.
