Mahama Calls for an End to Vandalism Following the Elections

John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to stop the recent acts of vandalism that have been happening in some areas following the election. He acknowledged the frustration many people are feeling but asked them to avoid turning to violence.

“I know that many of you are feeling frustrated and angry, but I ask you today, please do not give in to negativity and pessimism,” Mahama said. He directly addressed reports of vandalism at government buildings, urging the public to resist the temptation to destroy things in their anger. “There have been reports of acts of vandalism at some government facilities and installations. I urge you not to vent your frustration in criminal enterprise,” he said.

Instead of violence, Mahama called for everyone to focus their energy on something more positive. “We must channel our anger and frustration into the positive enterprise of resetting and rebuilding our nation,” he said.

Mahama also reminded his supporters that while this moment is joyful, the work ahead is not an easy one. “Let us be brief in our celebration, for the weight of office will be an onerous one,” he said, making it clear that the expectations from Ghanaians are very high.

He finished with a hopeful message, urging Ghanaians to hold on to the positivity they feel and work towards a better Ghana. “Let us maintain and even magnify this joy and positivity that we feel,” Mahama said.
