President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Receives John Mahama, President Of Ghana, In Abuja.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday received his Ghanaian counterpart, John Mahama, at the State House, Abuja.

Mahama’s visit to the Presidential Villa is his first official coming since his inauguration on January 7, 2025.

The Ghanaian leader said he was in Nigeria to keep Tinubu updated on diplomatic efforts with the military junta leaders of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, aimed at addressing regional security and stability.

He stressed the complexities of the regional issue but assured that with continued constructive dialogue all pending issues between the Alliance of Sahel States and the Economic Community of West African States will be resolved.

“I came to thank him for the honour done me during my inauguration but also to brief him on the visits to the sahealean countries Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger and to bring him up to date with some of the issues and to discuss with him. As ECOWAS chairman, it’s my duty to come and brief him on some of the concerns that were raised there so that we continue to dialogue with those other countries.

“Well it’s a complicated situation and it’s not as easy as we think. We just need to continue to dialogue and see how we can continue to dialogue together,” Mahama stated.
