Former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has congratulated President John Dramani Mahama on completing his first year in office, describing the mandate given to him by Ghanaians as a sacred responsibility.
In a New Year message, Dr. Bawumia extended his sincere well-wishes to the President and urged him to prioritise the protection of Ghana’s peace, stability, and national unity.
He noted that Ghana has historically been a beacon of stability in a region often affected by unrest, cautioning that the country’s democratic and security foundations must not be allowed to weaken.
Dr. Bawumia observed that President Mahama inherited a solid foundation in many areas and stressed the importance of building on existing structures rather than allowing them to erode.
He also cited the 2025 Global Peace Index, which ranked Ghana 60th globally and seventh in Sub-Saharan Africa, pointing out that the country’s drop in ranking signals emerging security concerns and pockets of unrest that require urgent attention.
According to him, safeguarding peace and national unity remains crucial to Ghana’s continued progress and democratic development.
“I congratulate President John Dramani Mahama on his first year in office and sincerely wish him well in the discharge of his mandate. The Ghanaian people have bestowed a sacred trust on him, and he cannot afford to fail them. I therefore urge him to jealously guard the peace, stability, and unity of our nation,” Dr. Bawumia said.
