Former President John Dramani Mahama has left Accra for Abuja to attend an ECOWAS meeting scheduled to resolve Gambia’s prevailing political crisis.
The ECOWAS leaders have requested the former president to continue his role with President Muhammadu Buhari in the Gambian issue.
This was reached at a meeting on the sidelines of the inaugural ceremony of President Akufo-Addo over the weekend.
The West African regional bloc Ecowas had called on him to honour his initial pledge to accept electoral defeat.
Mr Jammeh, who subsequently said the December,1 poll was flawed, added that he would defend his country if need be.
Ecowas had said military intervention might be a possibility if diplomatic efforts failed.
Mr Jammeh has lodged a case before the Supreme Court to annul the vote after the electoral commission changed some results.
