In his remarks, the President emphasised the importance of continuity in governance, suggesting that Bawumia's leadership would ensure the ongoing development and stability of the nation through the NPP's policies.

“I can say in all good conscience that I have not betrayed the mandate the good people of Ghana conferred on me on two successive occasions."

“All this has been done in part due to the support I have received from you and the Church and above all due to the grace of Almighty God through whom I express my deepest gratitude."

“I pray that you continue with the same level of cooperation with my successor, God willing, my Vice President, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and his dynamic running mate, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known to all and sundry here in Kumasi as NAPO," he urged.
