John Mahama, president of Ghana, appeared to trade places with President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria in a gaffe on Tuesday.

During his inauguration speech, Mahama referred to Tinubu as Ghana’s president.

“Your excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, president of the Federal Republic of Ghana,” Mahama said while acknowledging dignitaries at the event.

Mahama’s error stirred acerbic and sarcastic reactions on social media.

“Did anyone else hear that President Mahama mistakenly referred to Nigeria’s President Tinubu as the President of Ghana? He has started again,” an X user tweeted.
