President Muhammadu Buhari will on Wednesday depart Abuja for Banjul, the Republic of Gambia to attend the inauguration of Gambian President, Adama Barrow, following his re-election for a second term.
President Buhari will be a Special Guest of Honour at the ceremony to be attended by other African leaders at the Independence Stadium in Bakau.
The President along with other ECOWAS leaders played a leading role in the restoration of democratic rule in The Gambia, in 2017 after the former President, Yahya Jammeh, refused to surrender 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.
He is expected back in the country at the end of the inauguration ceremony.
