On January 7th, 2025, something remarkable happened. This is something that has not happened in a long time. Imagine meeting a revolutionary hero like Thomas Sankara or Patrice Lumumba. How exciting would that be, to meet an African leader that is passionate and determined to create change? But we don't have to imagine. There is one right in front of us. And, the citizens of Ghana met him on January 7th, 2025 during the inauguration of the newly elected President John Dramani Mahama. Since the event, the internet has been on fire, with many giving their opinion on how President Traore shut down Ghana for some minutes. But what exactly happened? Let's find out.
On January 7th, 2025, the newly elected President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama was sworn in. It was a highly anticipated and historical event that drew the attention of both local and international observers. A lot of notable figures including African Heads of State such as Nigerian President Bola Tinubu were present at the ceremony. During the ceremony, one moment stood out. It was a moment that electrified the crowd and reverberated across the continent.
Now, during the ceremony, the Ghanaian Speaker, Alban Bagbin called upon various dignitaries including the Heads of State present to extend their congratulations to the newly inaugurated President. Each of the dignitaries and Heads of State called upon received a mixture of cheers and applause. But none of this could be compared to what happened when Ibrahim Traore, President of Burkina Faso was called up to the stage.
