Ghana's president just got handed a major traditional title by one of Nigeria's top chiefs during a whole ceremony down in Ile-Ife. The Ooni of Ife gave John Dramani Mahama the Aare Atayeto Oodua of the Source designation for his diplomatic work pushing African interests on the world stage, and the palace grounds got decked out with his portraits while crowds showed up to watch.
This marks the second time Mahama picked up honorary Yoruba titles since he grabbed the Aare Atolase of Offa back in 2015 from the Offa Kingdom. The Presidency said the whole thing strengthens cultural ties between both countries and recognizes how Mahama advocates for developing nations through multilateral frameworks.
