President-elect John Dramani Mahama is hoping he is able to appoint a crack team of selfless individuals who will work towards making Ghana better.

According to him, he cannot tell what people have in their minds and their hearts as they take over the administration of the country.

He is therefore counting on the wisdom of God and the discernment of the Lord to be able to choose people who will work for the betterment of Ghana.

John Dramani Mahama made this known when he was addressing a congregation on December 31, 2024.

“I have a huge task ahead of me. No man has yet invented a machine that can see into the minds or hearts of human beings, and yet you have to choose a team to work with you. I pray that God gives us the sense of discernment so that we can choose a team that will work for this country,” he indicated.

Adding further that “We need to be selfless so that we can gain back the trust of our young people that democracy indeed worked. It is going to be 32 years from the day when in 1993 we gathered at Independence Square, where we started the 4th Republic. The 4th republic has been the most enduring republic in the history of Ghana because it has lasted long. We are going to go there on January 7, and yet many of our young people believe that the country is not working for them; it is not opening opportunities for them.

So that day when we are all going to the Independence square even though I will be the center of attraction, lifting that sword, sitting on that chair, it is all of us lifting that sword and I pray that our country Ghana becomes great and strong”.
