“I want to thank the people of
Ghana for maintaining their confidence in the leadership of our nation…I also
want to assure the 6.2 million people who didn’t vote for me that I will have
their interest at heart and in mind in all that I do,” said
President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Akufo-Addo was speaking at
a Thanksgiving Service held today at the Forecourt of the State House.
The event which was to thank God
for emerging victorious in the 2020 General Election was on the theme: “Ebenezer, thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us;
For the Battle is the Lord’s”.
According to the
President-elect, “It has been a constant theme of our work that the battle
is the Lord’s. So today we have the opportunity to give Him thanks for making
it possible for this victory for the NPP and also for continuing to secure the
peace of our country”.
“We have to take the lead in
bringing into fruition the main teaching of this election: which is that all
persons of goodwill, no matter their political affiliation, have to work
together to secure the peace prosperity, and progress of our nation…The
occasion has enabled the NPP government to renew its commitment to the
promotion of democracy and good governance” he added.
He further expressed
appreciation to party executives, supporters for helping the party emerge
victorious in the December 7 poll.
He also thanked “the clergy who have participated
in today’s ceremony and for the clergy who, over the last four years, continue
to pray for the peace of our nation and the success of our government.”
Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo is set to be sworn in on
January 7, 2021, to usher him into his second term in office.
