President Bola Ahmed Tinubu received his Ghanaian counterpart, John Mahama, at the State House in Abuja on March 27, 2025.

In his remarks, Tinubu said his talks with the three Alliance of Sahel States (AES by its French acronym) were essential to safeguarding lives and fostering prosperity across the region.

“I feel good that he is here in the first place. I am indeed very happy with the efforts he has made to have a bridge between the AES countries and the ECOWAS. It’s not a bad idea for us because of the security situation in the Sahel region and what economic opportunity that we must embark to ensure security of lives and prosperity of our citizens,” Tinubu said.

The Nigerian President expressed confidence in his leadership to promote regional peace and collaboration.

Shortly after winning the presidential election in December 2024, Tinubu visited Mahama in Accra
