President Bola Tinubu has congratulated John Mahama on his swearing-in as Ghana’s president saying Nigeria will support the West African country.
Mahama was inaugurated on Tuesday in Accra, marking his return to office years after seven years when he served as Ghana’s president.
Tinubu who was among world leaders at the event noted his friendship between him and Mahama, pledging Nigeria’s backing for Ghana.
President Tinubu who was the special guest to the inauguration said he share a deep friendship with mr. John Mahama-a reason he’s around to work with him.
Mahama who was president of Ghana between 2012 and early 2017 stormed back to power after he defeated Mahamudu Bawumia of the then-ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He polled over 50 per cent of the vote cast to coast home to victory, a landmark Tinubu shows reflects the deepening roots of democracy in Africa.
The president said Mr. mahama’s return to power lays to bed the question of whether Ghana and Africa are capable of democratic and productive endeavours.
According to him, Ghana has answered that question resoundingly.
He said it’s time that Africa’s critics stop forgetting the strides Ghana, Nigeria, and others have made by continuing to ask the countries to prove themselves. For him, Africa has nothing to prove to anyone except itself.
Tinubu extolled Mahama as a man of patriotic vision and substance praying his administration to be a profound success and progress for Ghanaians, and the entire region.
