Ho, Dec.15, GNA – Asogli State Council has congratulated Mr John Dramani Mahama on his victory in the just-ended elections.

The Council said the margin of Mr Mahama’s victory was a testament to the confidence and trust Ghanaians had placed in his leadership and his vision for the nation.

This was in a press release signed by Mr Stephen Tetteh, Secretary to the Council.

“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 towards prosperity. We are confident that you will honour this trust by working relentlessly to provide opportunity for all Ghanaians.”

The statement said the Council believed Mr Mahama would be a leader of all citizens, regardless of political, ethnic or regional affiliations, and that his policies, conduct and decisions would be guided by the principles of inclusivity, equity and justice.

“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.”

The statement said the Council was happy about the President-elect’s intention to prioritise the pressing desires of the 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.”

“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,” the release said.

“May your tenure be marked by wisdom, humility, honesty and the courage to take bold decisions that will leave a legacy for our nation.”
