President-Elect John Dramani Mahama has issued a strong caution to individuals aspiring for appointments in his incoming administration, advising them to refrain from seeking government positions if they are not ready to work diligently.
During a courtesy visit by the Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, and his delegation on Thursday, December 12, Mahama emphasized the importance of effective and accountable leadership.
He noted that, Ghanaians have high expectations and warned that there would be no room for complacency or unproductiveness in his government.
“Ghanaians are patient, but when they’ve had enough, they will hold you accountable. I urge those aspiring to join the new government to understand that it won’t be business as usual.
“It will demand hard work and sacrifice. If you’re not prepared to work hard for Ghana, you are better off staying in the private sector,” Mahama stated.
The Electoral Commission (EC) declared Mahama the winner of the 2024 general elections on Monday, December 9.
