John Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for the 2024 presidential elections, has responded to President Akufo Addo that the current leader has no authority to decide his successor and only that it is God that makes rulers.
Mahama stressed the importance of ensuring free and fair elections as Akufo-Addo prepares to leave office.
Speaking at an event in Damongo in the Savannah Region, Mahama highlighted that a peaceful and credible election is the most significant legacy Akufo-Addo can leave for Ghanaians.
Mahama’s remarks came during a ceremony where he initiated the construction of a new multipurpose Ndewura Jakpa palace. The project, backed financially by Mahama, is inspired by Malian architectural designs and includes a palace, a residence, and a meeting area.
Comments By John Mahama On Akufo Addo ‘s Succession Plan
I wish to urge our president; this was my message to Nana Akufo-Addo, unfortunately he has left, and he has left only our member of the council of state on the high table.
I wish to urge our President that the best legacy he can leave this country, is to superintend over a peaceful, transparent and credible election.
I wish to remind him, that it is God who makes rulers and he can never ever be the one to choose his successor. It is God who will choose his successor
