Accra, Dec 28, GNA \u2013 President-elect John Dramani Mahama has called l on the Overlord of Gonjaland, Agoura\u202fBii-Kunuto Jewusoale I, at his Palace in Damongo in the Savannah Region.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This, he sad was to enable him present his victory in the December 7 general election to his father, the Yagbonwura.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am home, this is where I was born in Damongo many years ago and I have come back home to\u202fgreet my father and present the victory that I have earned to him,\u201d the President-elect stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that it is with his prayers that we have achieved this success.\u202fFrom the day that I sent a delegation led by our Party Chairman to come and see him and\u202fto inform him that I have been selected by my Party to be the flagbearer for the 2024 elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that my father has not slept. He has roamed the length and breadth of this country.\u202fHe has prayed to our ancestors. He has seen his fellow chiefs and told them his son is standing for the election and he has canvassed their support for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He noted that as they had got the victory,\u202fit was only appropriate that he brought the victory and put it in his hands; so that he would hold it\u202fand continue to stand behind him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that the difficult part that is ahead of us,\u202fas I said, the campaign and the election was the easy part. Now the difficult part is handling\u202fthis country and making it peaceful and prosperous for not only the Gonja Kingdom but for the whole\u202fof Ghana,\u201d Mr Mahama said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He appealed to Yagbonwura, chiefs, imams and other religious leaders to continue praying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know our economy is in crisis. There\u2019s hardship in the land so that we can work\u202fhard to turn our fortunes around and create prosperity and dignity for all Ghana\u2019s people,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy father advised me that I cannot handle the country alone. I have to select people to\u202fsupport me in administering the country. \u201cAnd so I should choose people who are\u202fwho have a good heart and who have the interest of Ghanaians at heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
The incoming President said it was impossible to open the head of a human being and see what the person was\u202for to look into a person\u2019s heart to know what their emotions were; declaring that \u201cand so I pray that God gives\u202fme the sense of wisdom and to be able to choose the right people to join me to be able to create economic prosperity for the people of Ghana\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToday is a happy day not only for Gonjaland, my father, and our chiefs and imams and the people of Gonjaland.\u202fIt is a happy day for the whole of Ghana. This electoral success is a win for all of Ghana,\u202fnot only myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
