Nigeria has reiterated its strong commitment to democratic governance and regional unity as Vice President Kashim Shettima, representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, attended the swearing-in and inauguration of Mamady Doumbouya as President of Guinea.

The inauguration followed President Doumbouya’s victory in the December 2025 general elections, marking a significant democratic milestone and formally ending four years of military transition in the country.

Vice President Shettima’s presence at the ceremony underscored Nigeria’s leadership role within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and reaffirmed the country’s unwavering support for the restoration, consolidation, and sustenance of democratic governance across the West African sub-region.

The event also highlighted ECOWAS’ shared spirit of unity, cooperation, and collective responsibility in promoting peace, stability, and democratic values among member states.
