In a historic moment that marked the beginning of his second term as President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama was officially inaugurated into office today, reflecting on the journey that led him back to the presidency.
His inaugural address was filled with gratitude, acknowledgement, and a call for unity, underscoring the importance of collaboration even in the face of political rivalry.
One of the highlights of his speech was the tribute to his long-standing friendship with his predecessor, Nana Akufo-Addo. Despite their political differences, Mahama took a moment to emphasize the deep bond they share.
“I want to thank President Akufo-Addo for being a true friend throughout the years,” Mahama said. “Our paths have crossed many times, and though we’ve led different political parties, our respect for each other and friendship has never wavered.”
He went on to highlight their shared history as lawmakers in Ghana’s Parliament, where their paths first crossed long before either of them ascended to the presidency.
“Nana Akufo-Addo is the one person who calls me ‘Johnny,'” Mahama continued, his voice filled with warmth. “That speaks volumes about the kind of relationship we have—one based on mutual respect and understanding.”
The moment was a poignant reminder of the importance of civility and friendship in Ghanaian politics, especially during times of transition.
Mahama’s acknowledgement of Akufo-Addo’s role in maintaining a commendable friendship even after years of political rivalry struck a chord with many Ghanaians, who have often witnessed tension between political leaders.
