Tinubu departs for South Africa to attend President Ramaphosa’s inauguration

President Bola Tinubu will, on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, depart Lagos for Pretoria, South Africa, to attend the swearing-in of President Cyril Ramaphosa.  

President Ramaphosa won a new mandate following his country’s general election on 29 May.

Although his party won 159 out of 400 seats in Parliament, it has forged a ruling coalition with its old rivals, Democratic Alliance and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP). The coalition partners re-elected Ramaphosa in Parliament last Friday.  

President Tinubu will return to Nigeria after the ceremony.
