Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
President-elect John Mahama has reiterated his dedication to humility in leadership, emphasizing that he is not swayed by the temptations of power or the fleeting advantages of high office.
While delivering remarks at a thanksgiving service held at the Assemblies of God Church in Accra on Sunday, he contemplated the significant insights he has acquired during his political journey.
He emphasized the significance of sustaining a grounded approach to governance, even after achieving a decisive win in the general elections conducted on December 7th.
The President-elect seized the opportunity to promote unity and cooperative effort, encouraging Ghanaians to unite in tackling the country’s urgent issues.
He also conveyed appreciation for the steadfast support he received while out of office, especially from his close family, friends, and church colleagues.
Relaying a personal story, Mahama described the significant transformations he underwent following his loss in the 2016 elections.
“When I lost in 2016, the Christmas hampers stopped coming. The many people who used to queue at my gate for a moment of my time simply vanished.
“It was only my family, siblings, closest friends, and church members who stayed by my side,” he remarked.
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of power, he added: “These trappings of power don’t get to my head. I have learnt that the praises and accolades one receives are often tied to the title of ‘President.’ One day, that title will no longer be there, and life will return to its essence.”
