The Asogli State Council has extended congratulatory messages to President-elect John Mahama on his victory in the 2024 elections.
The Council in a statement on December 16 said the NDC’s victory is a testament to the confidence and trust Ghanaians have placed in John Mahama’s leadership and vision for the nation.
The Council reminded John Mahama of the herculean task ahead of him and reposed their confidence in the President-elect to deliver to meet the expectations of Ghanaians.
“Your Excellency, the hope of an entire nation now rests on your shoulders. The people of Ghana have spoken resoundingly against dishonesty, lawlessness, injustice, divisiveness, arrogance, corruption, economic mismanagement, joblessness and the destruction of our lands and rivers, and entrusted you with the mandate to lead a united Ghana toward prosperity. We are confident that you will honour this trust by working relentlessly to provide opportunity for all Ghanaians,” the statement said.
The Council urged John Mahama to be a leader of all regardless of political, ethnic or regional affiliations. It advised Mahama to ensure that his policies, conduct and decisions will be guided by the principles of inclusivity, equity and justice.
The Asogli State Council wants the next government to recover stolen state assets and hold state officials accountable.
“Being a leader of all, however, does not preclude holding people accountable, neither does it preclude the recovery of stolen state assets and funds. We hope the lessons from the elections, and Ghanaians’ quest for better governance, transparency and accountability will shape the agenda of your government.
“We are happy about Your Excellency’s intention to prioritise the pressing desires of our people. These desires include equitable economic growth, stability, job creation and infrastructure development. By pursuing these desires with diligence and integrity, you will strengthen the bonds of trust between the government and the citizens, Secretary to the Council, Stephen Tetteh noted in the statement.
“As you prepare to assume your new responsibilities, we pledge our support and partnership in all initiatives that promote peace and development and bring renewed hope to all Ghanaians.
May your tenure be marked by wisdom, humility, honesty and the courage to take bold decisions that will leave a legacy for our nation. Once again, we congratulate you, Your Excellency, on this remarkable achievement and wish you success as you steer the affairs of the motherland,” the statement added.
