The private meeting took place at the Radisson Blu Hotel.
The Special Adviser to the President Tinubu on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, issued the press release, noting that President Ramaphosa expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for attending his second-term inauguration.
“Thank you so much for coming for the inauguration. I was very happy to see my brother at the ceremony,” the South African President said.
President Tinubu commended President Ramaphosa’s inaugural address, highlighting its focus on the common challenges faced by African countries and the need for more collaboration among leaders and citizens to provide solutions.
