President-elect John Dramani Mahama is hoping to appoint a crack team of selfless individuals who will work towards making Ghana a better place.

According to him, he cannot predict what is in the minds and hearts of those who will join his administration.

He is, therefore, counting on God's wisdom and discernment to choose individuals who will work for the betterment of Ghana.

John Dramani Mahama made this known when he addressed a congregation on December 31, 2024.

"I have a huge task ahead of me. No man has yet invented a machine that can see into the minds or hearts of human beings, and yet I have to choose a team to work with me. I pray that God grants us the wisdom of discernment so we can select a team that will work for this country," he said.

He added, "We need to be selfless so that we can regain the trust of our young people and show them that democracy indeed works. It will be 32 years since, in 1993, we gathered at Independence Square to begin the 4th Republic."

"The 4th Republic has been the most enduring republic in the history of Ghana because it has lasted so long. We are going to return there on January 7, and yet many of our young people feel that the country is not working for them and is not opening opportunities for them."

"On that day, when we all gather at Independence Square, even though I will be the center of attention, lifting the sword and sitting on the chair, it will be all of us lifting that sword. I pray that our country, Ghana, becomes great and strong," he concluded.
