President Mahama welcomes Ssali at the Castle
Accra, July 30, GNA - President John Dramani Mahama on Monday gave the assurance that he would take the opportunity offered him to build an inclusive government that would unite Ghanaians than in the past.
He said: “The event of last week was so shocking that I do not want to revisit it…, but God knows why that has happened so.”
President Mahama gave the assurance, when Shaka Ssali, renowned VOA Journalist, host of “Straight Talk” called on him at the Castle to commiserate with him on the death of President John Evans Atta Mills last Tuesday, at the 37 Military Hospital.
Shaka Ssali, who was at the Castle with colleague Journalists, was there to empathize with President Mahama and to do a documentary on Ghana for other countries to learn from.
President Mahama said the only legacy his administration could leave for the late President was to effectively pursue some of his development programmes and patch up all the cracks that had bedeviled the country in the past.
The VOA icon said he was initially scheduled to take an award from the Radio and Television Awards organized in Accra, Ghana, but that had to be re-scheduled on account of the death of the late President, adding “I have therefore taking the advantage to visit President Mahama and later do a documentary on the country for others to see.”
He encouraged all people placed in offices of responsibility to do what they were capable of doing, in order to leave useful legacies for their people, before they were called by their maker.
“What I know and have learnt is that Ghanaians are so united and will definitely get out of this mood as soon as possible.”
