In a significant display of diplomatic and cultural solidarity, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, and Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke, arrived in Accra yesterday to attend the inauguration of Ghana's President-elect, John Dramani Mahama.
Their presence underscores the deep-rooted historical and cultural ties between Nigeria and Ghana, as well as a shared commitment to Pan-African unity.
The event, set to take place today in Accra, will also be attended by Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, alongside 20 other African heads of state and distinguished dignitaries.
This high-profile gathering underscores the regional importance of Ghana’s political transition and reflects the continent’s aspirations for unity and progress.
John Dramani Mahama, who previously served as Ghana's president from 2012 to 2017, secured a decisive victory in the December 7 election, obtaining 56.5% of the vote.
His return to power comes amid significant economic challenges, including high inflation and public dissatisfaction. Mahama has pledged to address these issues by combating corruption and investing in agriculture and infrastructure.
The Ooni of Ife, a revered traditional ruler and advocate for African unity, has been instrumental in promoting peace and economic collaboration across the continent. His recent initiatives include expanding investment footprints in Kenya and engaging with leaders to foster Pan-African business initiatives.
The inauguration ceremony is expected to be a convergence of African leaders and dignitaries, symbolizing a collective aspiration for unity, development, and prosperity across the continent.
