Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has emphasised his country’s support for President John Mahama and Ghana.
In his speech as the Special Guest at the inauguration of John Mahama, Tinubu reflected on his cordial ties with the Ghanaian leader, expressing confidence in Mahama’s government to lead Ghana towards progress.
“President John Mahama and I share a deep friendship. My dear brother, I am here to walk with you. You know you can count on Nigerian support at any given time you call on me. We shall always be there for you,” Tinubu remarked.
“May your administration bring profound progress for you, Ghanaians, and the entire region. I am confident that the new government under your leadership will work with Nigeria to strengthen this powerful bond,” he continued.
President Tinubu underscored the need for African nations to unite in building strong economies for the continent’s collective development.
“We will lift our nations out of poverty and build strong and resilient economies for our people. I am here not only as the President of Nigeria but also as an African, in resolute support of Ghana and our people,” he said.
“The sun is out, and the sky may be blue, but I see today a Black Star rising, rising through the African skies with a sense of shared history, hope, compassion, unity, and devotion to our common welfare,” he added.
