President-elect John Dramani Mahama has called for a united front among all Ghanaians, irrespective of political affiliations, to rebuild the nation and restore its glory.
Addressing congregants during the 31st all-night service at the Sanctuary of Wind and Fire Assemblies of God in Tamale on December 31, Mahama emphasized the need for collective effort to achieve meaningful change.
“All of us—National Democratic Congress, New Patriotic Party, New Force, Movement for Change, Convention People’s Party, People’s National Congress, All People’s Congress—all of them. It will take everybody to get on board, even those who don’t belong to any party, to be able to change this country to what we want it to be,” he stated.
The president-elect acknowledged the challenges facing the country, describing the post-election phase as the real test of leadership and determination. “The easy part of the campaign and election is over; now the difficult part begins. Now the real work begins,” John Mahama remarked.
He also urged Ghanaians to continue to seek divine intervention for the nation, particularly during this critical period. “If we prayed and fasted to have a successful election, then now is the time to pray and fast even more, that God will raise our nation and, like my little daughter said, ‘make it the black star of Africa once again.’ Our country is in crisis; we all know it,” he added.
Mahama’s address resonated with the congregation, highlighting his vision for an inclusive approach to governance as he prepares to take office.
His message comes at a time when many Ghanaians are looking forward to decisive action to address the nation’s economic and social challenges.
The service, which marked the end of the year and ushered in 2025, was attended by hundreds of worshippers, clergy, and local leaders, reflecting a strong spirit of hope and unity.
Mahama’s call for national cohesion and active participation in nation-building sets the tone for his administration as he prepares to lead Ghana in the coming years.
