Fellow Africans, something great happened in Ghana last night. Before the Ghana Electoral Commission had concluded collating and releasing the results of the Presidential elections, President John Dramani Mahama made the right move when he called his arch-rival, Nana Akufo-Addo, to concede defeat and congratulate him on a battle well-fought. With that act, President Mahama instantly joined the limited but hallowed chambers of African statesmen who have behaved like all decent leaders around the globe faced with their situation do. It is gratifying to see that Africa is gradually moving away from the bad habit of sit-tight leaders. This singular decision of President Mahama has not only doused the uneasy tension that had suddenly crept upon the country but most definitely also averted unnecessary bloodletting. To God be the glory.

It was a clean campaign while it lasted. Both leaders, and their other co-contestants, were committed to peace. Indeed, they all jointly signed a peace accord where they reiterated for a peaceful turnout, peaceful voting and peaceful outcome. It was a mantra that resonated with the good people of Ghana who treated their elections as pure entertainment even as it appeared the most critical that they had seen in a long time. An average Ghanaian treasures the tranquility he enjoys and would do nothing to jeopardize it. They were thus happy to see that their leaders had embraced this penchant for peace and tranquility by signing the peace accord and that President Mahama has kept faith with that accord by gallantly conceding defeat.

Na wah!!!

Nice

Atleast now we are having reasonable leaders in politics.politics is not a do or die affair

Change is the only constant thing in this world and it is only the weak that are afraid to embrace it.

I congratulate Ghanaians for embracing the efficacy of change. It is a good spirit that is incubating the Africa political history which is demystifying the power of incumbency and the right to mediocrity in governance. If can't perform in your first term in office,you'll be shove away in your bid for second term.

It is also noteworthy that American in their most recent presidential election stood for Change.

GEJ, I salute you!

My own is that if Buhari losses Come 2019, he should do what his contemporaries like GEJ, John Mahama and Jameh have done. But will a man who massacred people of opposing faith(the shiites) like Nouri Al-maliki of Iraq do so? Time will tell.

GEJ set the standard, KUDOS JONATHAN

Ayam just waiting for Buhari in 2019.

I see CHANGE everywhere

CHANGE IN THE AIR

Don't wait for time to tell anything brother. This Buhari WILL NEVER handover to the opposition if he losses in 2019. It's so evident. The best he will do is to relinquish power to a surrogate military junta, a decision that would take the country back to the dark ages. Buhari would have declared war on Nigeria if he hadn't won in 2015.
