President John Dramani Mahama on Friday signed a book of condolence in honour of the late Pope Francis.
The President in his tribute, described the late Pontiff as “a good man, personable and humane, with a good soul.”
“I pray that the Conclave be guided by God to choose a worthy successor, and I know one who will make a good Pope—our own Cardinal A.T,” he added.
This follows an earlier Facebook post following the Pope’s death on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, aged 88.
Mahama on behalf of his family and Ghana extended condolences to the Roman Catholic Church in Ghana and around the world.
“The world woke up to the sad news of Pope Francis’ passing. On behalf of my family and the people of Ghana, I extend heartfelt condolences to the Roman Catholic Church and all Catholic faithful in Ghana during this time of profound grief,” he mourned.
Recounting a visit to the Vatican with his wife Lordina where they met the late Pope, he described the encounter as a moment of honour and inspiration.
“His legacy of compassion, humility, and commitment to social justice will continue to inspire generations. His leadership and advocacy for the poor and marginalised resonate deeply,” the President noted.
