Tinubu, who serves as the Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, was welcomed at the Kotoka International Airport by Julius Debra, the Chief of Staff to Ghana's President.
Mahama, who previously served as Ghana's 12th president from 2011 to 2017, was reelected in December 2024. He will succeed President Nana Akufo-Addo, whose term ends in 2025.
