During a mini durbar at the Damongo Palace on December 27, 2024, while visiting the Yegbonwura, Bii-Kunuto Jewu Soale I, Mahama emphasized the importance of selecting capable individuals for cabinet roles—those who prioritize national interests and contribute to effective governance.
He highlighted that such decisions often require divine guidance.
Mahama expressed the challenge of discerning people’s true intentions and plans for the country, which complicates the process of identifying suitable candidates for key positions.
In addressing the Yegbonwura’s inquiries about his appointees, he noted that only through spiritual direction can he appoint individuals who will competently fulfill their roles and serve the nation effectively.
He reflected on advice from his father regarding the necessity of surrounding himself with trustworthy individuals who genuinely care for the welfare of Ghanaians.
Mahama acknowledged the limitations of human insight, stating that it is impossible to fully understand another person’s thoughts or emotions.
He therefore seeks wisdom and discernment to select the right team for advancing economic prosperity in Ghana.
Additionally, Mahama has urged religious and traditional leaders to continue their prayers for his administration, emphasizing the need for divine support to govern effectively and address the country’s economic challenges.
He noted that the current economic situation is dire and called for collective efforts to improve the circumstances for all Ghanaians.
