President-elect John Dramani Mahama has issued a stern warning to potential appointees in his incoming government, advising them to refrain from seeking public office 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 that Ghanaians expect effective and accountable leadership. He stressed that there is no room for complacency or unproductiveness in his administration.
“Ghanaians are slow to react and if they have enough of you, they will punish you. So, I want to urge those who are aspiring to work with the new government, that it is not going to be easy, or business as usual.
“It is going to be hard work. So, if you are not prepared to work hard and to sacrifice for Ghana, then you better stay in the private sector.”
Mahama was declared the winner of the 2024 general elections by the Electoral Commission (EC), on Monday, December 9.
