The National Democratic Congress Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has arrived in Lagos, Nigeria, as a special guest at the Nigerian Bar Association’s 64th Annual General Conference.

The statement noted that Mahama "looks forward to discussing innovative approaches to addressing Nigeria's pressing issues with its legal practitioners" while also emphasizing the "importance of accountability and leadership in governance."
