He also emphasized a renewed commitment to good governance, transparency, and addressing the pressing needs of Ghanaians.
The ceremony was attended by 21 heads of state, former leaders, and dignitaries, including Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa, and Liberia’s George Weah.
Former Ghanaian leaders John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings were also present, alongside immediate former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife, Samira Bawumia.
