Pres. Tinubu Congratulates Ghana’s President-Elect John Mahama

President Bola Tinubu has extended his warmest congratulations to Ghana’s President-elect John Dramani Mahama on his victory in the December 7 general election.

In a telephone call to Mahama, Tinubu expressed his hope that Mahama’s return to power would bring stability to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which President Tinubu chairs.

According to a statement by Mr. Bayo Onanuga the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, the Nigerian leader commended the people of Ghana for their commitment to democracy, demonstrated through the peaceful and successful conduct of the presidential and parliamentary elections.

He applauded Ghanaians for showing the world that democracy is the preferred path to achieving political stability, economic development, and transparent governance in Africa.

Tinubu also applauded the candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for conceding defeat before the official announcement by Ghana’s Electoral Commission.

Noting that Bawumia’s stance reinforced Ghana’s democratic ethos, the Nigerian leader re-echoed his support for strengthening the fraternal bonds between Nigeria and Ghana, underpinned by shared history, cultural ties, and mutual cooperation.

He thanked President Nana Akufo-Addo for his exemplary leadership and contributions to Ghana’s progress and regional peace and stability.
