The candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has congratulated John Mahama, following his inauguration as president of Ghana.
After emerging victorious at the 2024 Ghana presidential election, Mahama was sworn in as the president of Ghana on Tuesday.
Speaking on Mahama’s emergence as president of the West African country, Obi, in a statement on X on Tuesday, wished the newly inaugurated Ghanaian president ”a fruitful tenure.”
Obi urged Mahama to prioritise the welfare of the people of Ghana rather than ”a few.”
He charged Mahama to practice inclusiveness and show commitment to the development of Ghana.
Obi applauded the conduct and result of the Ghana election, saying the election reflected the ”unmistakable voice” of the Ghanaian people.
Obi’s statement reads, ”My dear elder brother, President John Dramani Mahama @JDMahama, as you take the oath of office today as President of Ghana, I would like to heartily congratulate you once again and wish you a fruitful tenure.
”On December 7th, 2024, the people of Ghana spoke loudly in an unmistakable voice that they wanted a reset of their country and gave you the mandate to do it.
”My earnest prayer is that God Almighty will be with you and grant you the wisdom and willpower to prioritise the welfare of Ghana’s people rather than the few.
”You should strive to always be exemplary in your commitment to the masses and dedication to inclusive development.
”I extend my heartfelt wishes to you and the people of Ghana as they embark on this journey of hope and resilience. May this new chapter be marked by peace, prosperity, and the realisation of their collective aspirations.
”Congratulations once again, my dear brother. May your leadership continue to illuminate the path for a stronger Ghana and a better Africa of Kwame Nkrumah’s dreams.”
