Outgoing president, John Dramani Mahama has thanked Ghanaians for helping him deliver on a four-year mandate given him in 2012 in his last new year message to the nation as president.
In a rather emotional piece, President Mahama thanks God, the citizenry and his family for a successful four-year tenure while urging all to help sustain the progress the country has made in the past years.
He emphasised the need for all to acknowledge and work towards maintaining the 'prosperity' that the country has succeeded in establishing.
"Ghana has managed to succeed in establishing prosperity for all and sustainable growth, which is evident by the degree of social and economic transformation that has taken place all around us this past four years", he said.
President Mahama wants the country to be guided by history as it marks 60 years of independence in the coming months.
"It is my hope that we look to our past to help guide us into our future, the world around us is changing at a very fast pace in other to remain relevant on the world stage, we must keep up with those changes."
He urged Ghanaians to move forward as a nation, and also pray for the well-being, longevity, and prosperity of the nation.
‘’It has been a blessing serving this nation and I thank each and every Ghanaian and God Almighty for this privilege and I wish you all a joyous 2017.’’
President John Mahama also wished the incoming president, Nana Akufo-Addo God’s blessings as he takes office on January 7.

NDC you have actually shown good leadership they should learn from you. Thanx, look at The Gambia problem galore.
REST IN PERFECT OPPOSITION WAI NDC!
We shall insult everyone. Look at how uncivilised we are. God help us. This has become the attitude of nearly everyone. We need to grow up and stop this npp or ndc based insults - else we shall never grow as a nation.
did i hear Mahama say socioeconomic transformation around us? Am sure by "us" he was referring to he and his family members and his NDC cohorts who participated in the create, loot and share government that he led
all those loss brain guys who are spewing rubbish, He has be your president for 4 years which you guys will not have the privilege to be. so he deserve a little respect. Go to countries who have experience serious violent and unrest after election just because the president refuse to give out the sit because of loss brains like. you guys should stop this abuse and be wise for once.
Go away....one term president.u nothing but a mistake to Ghanaians
MAHAMA HAS WOUNDED ALL GHANAIANS. THE WORST AFFECTED ARE RETIRED DOCTORS WHOSE POST RETIREMENT CONTRACT HE CANCELLED SECRETLY AND REFUSED TO PAY THE RETORED DOCTORS WHO WORKED IN 2013. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, HE HAS RIUNED PRIVATE MEDICAL PRACTICE BY DESTROYING THE NHIS WHICH CAN'T RE-IMBURSE HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS. TO BE PRECISE, PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR NDC MUST BE SCREENED FOR INSANITY!!!!!!!
I truly can't wait to see the back of this man. 7th January is not coming quick enough oh!
Good luck for Nana ponpofii
