Peter Obi, who ran as the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 elections, has publicly congratulated John Dramani Mahama on his inauguration as President of Ghana. In his statement, Obi expressed:
“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. You should strive to always be exemplary in your commitment to the masses and dedication to inclusive development.
I extend my heartfelt wishes to you and the people of Ghana as they embark on this journey of hope and resilience. May this new chapter be marked by peace, prosperity, and the realization of their collective aspirations.
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.”
