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.

Being a typically busy day in Accra, due to the inauguration of the President-Elect, John Dramani Mahama, and his vice, Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the traffic situation especially around the Independence Square is expected to be challenging.

And, although he had already deployed many police personnel to the grounds of the inauguration to ensure security, law, and order, the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, was forced at a point to help in the work itself.

In images shared by Daily Graphic on Facebook, the IGP was captured directing traffic at a certain part of the city.

This is believed to have happened as he headed to the Black Star Square to join other invited guests and dignitaries for the inauguration of John Mahama as the president of Ghana.

“The IGP stepped out of his car en route to the inauguration grounds to direct traffic,” the caption of the post on Facebook said.

The momentous and historic occasion has drawn significant attention both domestically and internationally.

It is expected to be attended by 21 Heads of State, alongside three vice presidents, four ministers, and 24 envoys.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Information, the swearing-in ceremony will also feature a number of dignitaries from across the world, including 21 Heads of State from Africa and beyond.

Other dignitaries from across all sectors of the economy, including foreign leaders and security service personnel are also in attendance.
