The Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS) of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), Lieutenant General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, has said the Army is ready to help reset Ghana under John Mahama’s leadership.
The CDS, who was appointed to the role in January 2024 by the now-outgone former President Akufo-Addo, made this statement during a meeting with the new President in Accra, accompanied by other security chiefs.
Speaking on behalf of the security chiefs, Lt. Gen. Oppong-Peprah affirmed the Army and the security services’ “unflinching support and dedication” to John Mahama “to achieve your objective of resetting Ghana.”
The CDS congratulated President Mahama and assured him of the security services’ total loyalty.
“We wish to congratulate you on your assumption of office as President of the country and Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces,” he said.
“Mr. President, we want to assure you of our loyalty, professionalism, and dedication. We’ve been working together as a team to address the complex challenges of the security environment. We have been able to keep Ghana quiet and stable. I want to assure you that we will continue with even greater zeal to maintain the security and stability of this country,” he added.
“We want to assure you of our unflinching support and dedication, as I said, to duty and to ensure that we help you achieve your objective of resetting Ghana,” he concluded.
