Tijjaniya Muslims of Ghana congratulate President-Elect, Nana Akufo Addo

We, the Tijjaniya Muslims of Ghana (TMMG), under the leadership of His Eminence Zaeem Sheikh Abdul Wadudu Haruna, wish to congratulate the president-elect of the Republic of Ghana Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his Running mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on the victory of their party in the December 7 general elections.

It is our conviction that the victory of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by the President-elect and his running mate, is the victory of Ghana's democracy, the victory of the Muslim Community, and the victory of humanity. We believe that the experience of the two gentlemen in democratic governance and their expertise in relevant fields of nation-building would help accelerate economic transformation and national development.

In all democratic societies, governance is a team work. We pray that Allah grant the President-elect the wisdom to select a competent team that would raise Ghana to another pedestal of development and prosperity. With faith in Allah, we are confident that Ghanaians would move forward as a unified nation with a common destiny in a new era of hope, development, freedom, and justice.

We take this opportunity to commend fellow Ghanaians for their role in the peaceful conduct of the elections. By the exemplary conduct, we have demonstrated our commitment to constitutional democracy and good governance. Furthermore, the result of our conduct is a reflection of our readiness to maintain our accolade as the beacon of democracy in the West African sub-continent.

Finally, we hail President John Dramani Mahama for conceding defeat and opting for a smooth transition of power to a new administration. He is, indeed, a statesman who respects the sovereign will of the people as demonstrated in the democratic tradition of the ballot.

God bless our Homeland Ghana.
