President-Elect, Nana Akufo-Addo, has asked Ghanaians to express gratitude to President John Mahama for his show of maturity in defeat during the just ended general election, and the ensuing transition process.
Nana Akufo-Addo said President Mahama demonstrated that he was a true democrat who had the development of his nation at heart, when he committed to a smooth transition of power by conceding following his defeat.
Speaking at a meeting with the leadership of the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference at his Nima residence on Friday, Nana Akufo-Addo intimated that, Ghana would not be enjoying the current peace and stability if President Mahama had refused to concede defeat.
“I think all of us in Ghana have to be thankful that we have in him [Mahama] a man who is also devoted to the peace and stability of our country. He has comported himself in a manner to ensure a smooth transition.”
“We believe that the manner in which he is going about it, is reassuring to our peace especially when you see what is going on in other parts of our continent and we have to be thankful for that,” the President-elect said.

The tale of two @Niis, the forgiving, optimistic one and the unforgiving, pessimistic.
@Nii Ga I hope you read the three comments before you wrote yours. I know it is difficult not to revenge or retaliate as human but for Ghana's sake for once can we support the government.
Ini Ga your skull is empty. You're a nation wrecker. You as individual can go to court. I'd.iot.
When you lost the other election, did u concede? Didnt you and your men held tghe man's neck for almost 8 months? Shame! Its true Mahama is a gentleman. I hope other people do the same thing you did to Mahama's govt. Sabotage, arson, unnecessary labour agitations against the govt, you name them. Finally you promised to turn Gh into South Korea some time ago and I'm just asking how are you going to do that since you are going to reduce taxes drastically, reduce utility drastically, increase salaries, construct more dams, free education and medical care, not forgetting over 250 new factories, massive infrastructural development etc which all require sika? Just asking.
I admire this stateman a great deal,he speaks maturely.God bless our homeland Ghana.
Am a big time NDC man. Hope peace prevail in our country. May God guide u Nana
The time to talk as a states man President Elect. When you continue to speak like this then you are on the path of successfully leadership. We would continue to pray for you from 7th JANUARY 2017.
