Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed strong confidence in the newly inaugurated Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama.
Tinubu commended Mahama’s leadership and voiced optimism about the positive changes and progress his administration will bring to Ghana.
“I’ve no doubt your administration will bring about positive change and progress,” Tinubu said when he spoke at the inauguration ceremony of Mahama in Accra on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.
He also pledged Nigeria’s unwavering support for Mahama’s government and encouraged the president to reach out whenever assistance was needed.
Meanwhile, President Mahama in his inaugural speech outlined his vision for the country’s future, emphasising the need for a national reset to address the pressing challenges facing Ghana.
Reflecting on the state of the nation, Mahama acknowledged the widespread economic hardships and the challenges of the past few years but expressed optimism for a brighter future.
He assured the nation that even though the economy had been hard in the past, these conditions were not permanent and that his new administration would bring positive change.
“If democracy is celebrated as a superior means of governance, then its outcomes must be more tangible and benefit them in their individual lives. Any honest introspection and reflection on the pulse of our nation would reveal that many within the population of our nation do not feel that they have benefitted from or partaken in this democratic dividend.
“We are a people hit by a severe economic crisis and hardships and in the last few years, we have moved from crisis to crisis. But there is hope on the horizon.
“Today should mark the beginning of a new opportunity. An opportunity for us to make a difference in our governance and our economic management. We shall reset our dear nation, Ghana,” he stated.
