President Muhammadu Buhari will depart Abuja on Wednesday for the Republic of The Gambia to attend the inauguration ceremony of the President of Gambia, Adama Barrow, following his second term re-election.
According to reports, President Buhari will be Special Guest of Honour at the ceremony at the Independence Stadium, Bakau, which will also be attended by other African leaders.
President Buhari along with other ECOWAS leaders, played a vital role in the restoration of democratic rule in the West African country in 2017 after former President, Yahya Jammeh, refused to hand over power after losing the election.
President Buhari will be accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama; National Security Adviser, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (Rtd); Director-General, National Intelligence Agency, Ambassador Ahmed Rufai, and other top government officials.
The President is expected to return to Nigeria after the inauguration ceremonies.
