Buhari Congratulates Ghana’s President-elect, Nana Akufo-addo by andyboi4real(m): 7:20am On Dec 11, 2016 |
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has
congratulated the candidate of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) and President-elect,
Mr. Nana Akufo-Addo, on his historic win
of the December 7 Ghana’s presidential
election.
President Buhari also commended the
government and people of Ghana, their
electoral commission and candidates of
the political parties for the decorum,
maturity and peaceful conduct of the
election that produced a winner from an
opposition party, who was contesting for
the third time.
Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in a
statement, said President Buhari also
extolled the statesmanship and great
leadership qualities of President John
Dramani Mahama, saying he came into
power at a trying period for the country
with the passing away of former President
John Atta-Mills and kept pushing for a
better life for all Ghanaians and
strengthening diplomatic relations with
countries in the sub-region, especially
Nigeria.
He noted that Akufo-Addo is well
experienced and skilled in leadership and
would build on the legacies of Mahama.
He particularly commended Mahama for
the great courage he exhibited in calling
his opponent and conceding defeat,
stressing that leaders must always
honour their pre-election pledge to accept
the results of polls as the will of the
people.
The President said he was optimistic that
the future of African development rests on
building strong political, democratic
institutions, ensuring free, fair and
credible elections, and respect for the
sanctity of the ballot.
He urged the President-elect and other
winners of the parliamentary elections in
Ghana to be magnanimous in victory,
while urging losers to explore peaceful
and legal mechanisms to challenge the
outcome of the polls where necessary.
President Buhari said the greater interest
of the country and the stability of the
sub-region should be uppermost in the
minds of all stakeholders.
He wished Ghana a smooth transition of
power, adding that he looks forward to
working with the President-elect.
