The Founding President of IMANI-Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has described President John Dramani Mahama’s inauguration as “superb.”
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Cudjoe praised the speech, stating that it was “uplifting and free from jabs.”
He noted that the speech was “original” and appeared to be something Mahama had written himself.
“He didn’t attack anyone, and it was a refreshing departure from the usual rhetoric. I think Mahama has truly transformed, and this speech reflected that. There was no need for him to remind the world how the NPP destroyed the economy because it was obvious—they lost,” he stated.
Mr. Cudjoe added that the speech was “a good standard speech” that didn’t include any “nasty comments” about the previous NPP government.
He said it was “well executed” and focused on “diligence, hard work, and meritocracy.”
“I believe inaugural speeches are not meant to complain but to be straightforward. President Mahama did a beautiful thing by keeping the tone positive and focused on the future” he said.
John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as the President of Ghana at the Black Star Square in Accra. This colorful occasion followed his decisive victory in the general elections held on December 7, 2024, where he secured a commanding mandate from the people of Ghana.
The event attracted a wide range of international dignitaries, including 21 Heads of State, diplomats, and representatives from various global organizations.
The Vice President-elect, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, also took the oath of allegiance and the oath of office, making her the first female Vice President in the country.
