In a phone call laced with goodwill and democratic ideals, Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu congratulated Ghana’s President-Elect, John Dramani Mahama, following his victory in Ghana’s recent elections. Tinubu emphasized the importance of allowing people to freely choose their leaders without interference or coercion.
“Democracy thrives when the will of the people is respected,” Tinubu reportedly told Mahama, underscoring the shared commitment of West African nations to democratic principles and regional stability.
The Nigerian leader also extended his congratulations to the people of Ghana for conducting a peaceful and transparent election, calling it a testament to their maturity and commitment to democratic values.
Tinubu’s congratulatory call highlights the growing focus on strengthening democratic institutions and collaboration among nations in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). As Ghana prepares for a new chapter under Mahama’s leadership, regional leaders are optimistic about deepened cooperation in areas like security, trade, and economic development.
This diplomatic gesture also reinforces Nigeria’s position as a regional leader in promoting democracy and good governance across Africa.
