Former president, Jerry John Rawlings has in a statement urged the president-elect, Nana Addo of the NPP to be one who would unite the entire populace together including members of other parties who lost in the December 7 polls.
The message which contained a congratulatory message to Nana Addo read:
“I commend you for committing to be a leader for all Ghanaians in your acceptance address. The onus is on you to pursue a leadership that unifies the people so members of the losing side have no reason to feel insecure.
Victory is a manifestation of the people’s desire for new leadership and comes with enormous responsibilities including a commitment to pursue an anti-corruption drive across the board.
Ghana faces huge challenges, many of which you promised to tackle during your campaign tours. You have been elected as president because the electorate believes you have the ability to confront these challenges and lead the country with fearlessness, humility and honesty.
I wish you the best of luck as you prepare to assume the mantle of leadership. God bless you and our homeland Ghana.”
