The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has extended his congratulations to 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, who made history as the first woman to become vice president in Ghana.
In his congratulatory message, Obi urged Mahama to remain committed to the masses and to focus on inclusive development throughout his tenure.
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 best wishes to the people of Ghana, encouraging them to embrace this new chapter with 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,” Obi added.
