You have been a worthy opponent – Mahama to Akufo-Addo

President John Dramani Mahama has described former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as a worthy opponent in the game of politics. Delivering his inaugural address at the Independence Square in Accra on Tuesday, Mr Mahama said the handing over ceremony “feels a bit like a déjà vu,” as they both had handed over to each other in their leadership roles. "That is because eight years ago on this day, on January 7, 2017, we shared this same space and performed this same transitional exercise," he added. "At the time, I was the outgoing president, having served one term, and he was the incoming president, having been given a mandate by the people of Ghana to lead this great nation of ours". "He and I both understood on that day, as I'm sure we are today, that it is the people of G...
