Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has congratulated President John Mahama on his first year in office while urging him to prioritise national unity, peace and institutional strength.
Addressing the nation at the start of the year, the former Vice President said leadership comes with a “sacred trust” that must be exercised with restraint and responsibility.
“The Ghanaian people have bestowed a sacred trust on the President, and he cannot afford to fail them,” Dr Bawumia said.
He called on President Mahama to guard Ghana’s reputation as a stable democracy in a region often marked by political upheaval.
“Ghana has stood out as a beacon of peace in a region that has seen too much instability,” he noted. “That legacy must be protected.”
Dr Bawumia said the foundation inherited by the current administration was solid in many respects and urged continuity where it serves the national interest.
“It is imperative that we build on what exists and not allow it to slip,” he added.
He emphasised that citizens’ concerns about cohesion and governance should not be dismissed, warning that public unease weakens confidence in leadership and slows national progress.
