Buhari to witness swearing-in of new Ghanaian president

Many African leaders, including President Muhammadu Buhari, will be attending the inauguration of Nana Akufo-Addo, incoming president of Ghana, on Saturday.

Akufo-Addo defeated President John Dramani Mahama in December, and visited Buhari in Abuja after being declared winner.

Buhari will leave Abuja for Accra, capital of Ghana, on Saturday morning.

Buhari has congratulated Ghanaians on the peaceful elections and orderly transfer of power from an incumbent to an opposition candidate.

He has also commended the outgoing for his “maturity and statesmanship”.

Buhari will return to Abuja at the end of the ceremony.
