During his inauguration as Ghana’s president on January 7, 2025, John Mahama, 65, made a notable slip-up by referring to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu as the “President of Ghana” in his speech.
This moment was captured in a video that has since gone viral, drawing attention across various media platforms.
Mahama, who previously served as Ghana’s president from July 2012 to January 2017, was sworn in to succeed Nana Akufo-Addo.
The inauguration ceremony took place at Independence Square in Accra, with numerous dignitaries in attendance.
The video of the slip-up has been widely shared on social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok, where users have commented on the mix-up.
Such verbal gaffes are not uncommon during high-profile events and often become talking points among the public and media.
