Mr. Simon Agana, former host of the popular Word Community Watch Show on Word FM has reflected on the eminent change of power from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to President elect, John Dramani Mahama and the changes that comes with change in the social lives of the two personalities.
John Dramani Mahama won the 2024 elections after two failed attempts to regain power after he lost the 2016 elections to now out-going president Nana Akufo-Addo. He will e returning to the seat of government for the second time.
Using the Coat of Arms of Ghana as a reference point, the broadcast journalist took to his Facebook page to discuss how the lives of the two gentlemen will take different twist after the swearing-in of John Dramani right from the Independence Square in Accra.
Below is what he said:
The current president of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will use this coat of Arms as his number plate for the last time from this morning till tomorrow morning around 9am. He will arrive at the venue for the inauguration with the long motorcade and vehicles with his car bearing the coat of arms as his number plate. The president elect, John Dramani Mahama will also arrive at the venue with his motorcade wirth his car bearing the ordinary DVLA number plate. After the president elect has taken his oath of office, the coat of arms will be removed from the car of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and embossed on the car of John Dramani Mahama. Nana Addo will leave the inauguration grounds with the ordinary DVLA number plate.As I pondered over this imminent change of power and the intricacies and complexity of life , I just realised the import of the statement that ” nothing is permanent in life”. Life changes and we must never assume that we will remain where we are in perpetuity. Modesty, humility and respect for all should guide our steps. As my brother Engr Na’aba Winna’amzua II said this morning, the people who mourn your demise will soon move on and forget that you really existed. Good morning.
