President Bola Tinubu held a private meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday in Johannesburg, South Africa.
According to a statement by Presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale, before the closed door meeting, which was held at Radisson Blu Hotel in Johannesburg, President Ramaphosa thanked President Tinubu for honouring the invitation to attend his inauguration for a second term in office.
“Thank you so much for coming for the inauguration. I was pleased to see my brother at the ceremony,” the South African president said.
President Tinubu noted that President Ramaphosa’s inaugural speech captured most of the challenges faced by African countries and the need for more collaboration among leaders and citizens to provide solutions.
“I enjoyed your speech at the ceremony and was delighted to listen to you. We have many issues in common and need to work more closely together. It was a good celebration,” the president stated.
President Ramaphosa was re-elected for a second term on Friday, June 14, 2024, following an agreement between the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance for a Government of National Unity.
