Dr. Kayode Fayemi, former Governor of Ekiti State, has congratulated Ghana’s President-elect, John Mahama, on his recent election victory. Fayemi praised Mahama’s leadership and vision, which have earned the trust and confidence of the Ghanaian people.
Fayemi’s statement was released through his media office, signed by Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, on December 8, 2024.
Fayemi also commended Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), for his gracious concession speech. Bawumia’s acceptance of the electoral outcome in the spirit of peace and national unity exemplifies the best of African political leadership.
Ghana has become a model of democracy for Africa, emphasizing the importance of respecting the will of the people and the supremacy of democratic principles. Fayemi noted that Ghana’s example shows that democracy can thrive in Africa when institutions function independently and political actors prioritize the collective good.
Fayemi urged African political actors to emulate the exemplary conduct displayed by President-Elect Mahama and Dr. Bawumia. Their actions have deepened Ghana’s democratic culture and solidified its position as a beacon of hope and a model for democracy in Africa.
