The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume (CON), on Tuesday represented Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the swearing-in ceremony of Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni, held at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds in Kampala.

The event drew the attendance of several African leaders, diplomats, and top government officials who gathered in Uganda’s capital to witness the official inauguration ceremony.

During the colourful state event, President Museveni was seen alongside Senator Akume, who conveyed the goodwill and solidarity of President Tinubu and the Nigerian government.

The ceremony featured official military displays, cultural performances, and diplomatic engagements as Uganda marked another significant political milestone under Museveni’s leadership.

Nigeria’s participation through Senator Akume further highlights the diplomatic relationship between both African nations and reflects ongoing efforts toward stronger regional cooperation on governance, trade, and continental development.

Museveni, one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, continues to play a prominent role in regional politics and East African affairs, with his inauguration attracting attention from across the continent.

The presence of high-ranking delegates from different countries also underscored the importance of African unity and intergovernmental collaboration amid evolving political and economic challenges facing the continent.
