On former President Mahama's facebook page...
Today is an important day in the annals of our country. It is a day that heralds, the global recognition of our country as a worthy example of Democratic Governance and Stability for other states.
I have accepted and will be participating in a National Thanksgiving Church Service this afternoon to thank God for the strengthening of our democracy over the last 25years.
The 4th Republic will be our last Republic and would last for centuries to come. We owe the foundation of our Political Stability to the Good People of Ghana and the contributions of the various political parties and actors, post January 07, 1993.
With all its ups and downs, democracy and constitutional rule have brought enormous dividends to our dear country, Ghana. We have experienced the most extensive period of economic expansion in our history.
Throughout my travels across the continent and interaction with academia, the political class and the youth of Africa, I have and will continue to make a case for our countries to continue the work of deeper democratic consolidation.
It is obvious that the broader the democratic space and the participation of our people in governance, the more progress we make as individual countries and as a continent.
While Ghana has advanced significantly in democratic governance and economic progress during the last 25 years, we still have the challenges of political intolerance and extreme partisanship to deal with.
I hope that beyond thanking God for this day, we shall spend our time and resources on how best to overcome the remaining hurdles that still stand in our way of establishing an ideal democracy.
Happy Anniversary.
JM.

I think there is something really wrong with your ability of thinking and making sound judgement of issues. I suggest you see a doctor for immediate attention. Your comments everywhere on this news portal is nothing but that of an individual who think with emotion and not like any rational human.
Ndcfuo ne gyimie de3! What makes sense for you to call a thi*f the best for Ghana? The best for the ndc not Ghana, if Ghana they wouldn't team up to drive him away like a chicken. You think losing an election by 1.5 million in power is a good omen for future? You kidding yourselves! Look at who are satisfied with this government and what majority of Ghanaians who voted for change are saying, they said they are satisfied everything is on course except ndc who see good things as bad and bad as good. These majority who has giving the President of Ghana the thumbs up and hoping for more work to be done to make their country a better home will see to it ndc is kept on lock never to come near the seat of government to ste*l and insult, show arrogance and punity to us. Who cares if mahama is good for ndc, he is bad for Ghana.
JM all the way. A man of the people indeed. You know your stuff. God bless you and Ghana.
That is a mark of true statesmanship. I salute you, however I was against your policies.
