Mahama’s speech focused on the importance of leadership that listens to the needs of the people and acts with a clear sense of responsibility. He stressed that true leadership is not about power but about serving the nation with integrity and compassion.
“I will lead with humility, acknowledging the challenges we face, but always with the resolve to overcome them,” he said. “My leadership will be centred around the well-being of every Ghanaian.”
The President emphasised that the vision of equity was central to his government’s approach. He underscored the need for a fair distribution of resources, opportunities, and support to all citizens, regardless of their background.
