President Bola Tinubu has told Ghanaians that their newly inaugurated leader, John Dramani Mahama, is a man of “patriotic vision and substance.”

Tinubu made this statement during Mahama’s swearing-in ceremony in Accra on Tuesday.
He also lauded Mahama for his dedication to his country and its people.

“Your new president is a man of patriotic vision and substance. He loves his nation and its people to the core. He believes that your nation has a mission and intends for you all to fulfil it. No one can ask more of a leader than that,” Tinubu said in his address.

“President John Mahama and I share a deep friendship. My dear brother, I am here to work with you. You know you can count on Nigeria’s support and goodwill whenever needed. We are your brothers and sisters. The bond is strong and cannot be broken.”

Tinubu also prayed that the Mahama administration be a profound success and progress for him, Ghanaians, and the entire region.

He noted that he is confident that the new government, under the leadership of President John Mahama, will work with Nigeria to strengthen this powerful bond, leading to greater shared prosperity for the people.

“I have no doubt that your administration will bring about positive change and progress. Your ascension to power should also mark a new and invigorated momentum in pursuing subregional integration and progress,” Tinubu said.

“With laser focus, we can tackle our people’s most pressing concerns: poverty, youth unemployment, instability, insurgency, and many other problems hampering our desired progress.”
