President Mahama said: “Governments will always come and go, but Ghana must always progress for our benefit”.

The President said the introduction of the President-elect would give him an idea of the happenings at the Presidency and make Ghana an admirable country in the international world.

He said the world would once again applause Ghana for the decent transition and he would ensure that the institutions are strengthened to take up future challenges.

“I want to thank you and all Ghanaians for the cooperation we received since the December 7 to date, and I will do everything possible to enrich the democracy we are enjoying,” he added.
