Nigeria’s opposition leader, Peter Obi, has congratulated John Mahama on his inauguration as the new president of Ghana.
Mahama was sworn in on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, alongside Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the first woman to become vice president in Ghana.
In his congratulatory message, Obi urged Mahama to strive to always be exemplary in his commitment to the masses and dedication to inclusive development.
Obi wrote, “My dear elder brother, President John Dramani Mahama 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 prioritize the welfare of Ghana’s people rather than the few.”
The former governor of Anambra State also extended his wishes to the people of Ghana as they embark on this journey of hope and resilience.
“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,” he concluded.
