Burkina Faso military leader, Ibrahim Traore, caught the attention of all and sundry on Tuesday during the swearing-in ceremony of Ghana’s new president, John Dramani Mahama, in Accra.
He stormed the venue with heavily-armed bodyguards. Traore himself was armed with his service pistol.
When the crowd saw him in his well-starched, ironed and smart uniform with the side arm, they started shouting: “Traore, Traore, Traore”.
The Burkinabe leader tweeted on his X (@Ibrahiim_traore)
“Congratulations, President John Mahama, on your inauguration as President of the Republic of Ghana.
“May your leadership inspire unity, progress, and prosperity”.
Queen @jarastaroots tweeted “You truly are an inspiration Capt IB for all Pan Africans who believe in the upliftment of Africa & Africans”.
