To my NPP Fam, when you think of 2028, play this song by Osibisa. The lyrics should keep you motivated, “It will be hard we know; and the road will be muddy and rough; but we’ll get there; Heaven knows how we will get there; we know we will.” youtu.be/xxm6s6fSs2g?si=vfsJ…

I have seen lawsuits filed in the Supreme Court and a letter from the Chief Justice addressed to the President and the Council of State. The main point of these documents is that the Chief Justice has yet to receive these “so-called” petitions lodged with the President, which petitions form the basis of the ongoing prima facie determination consultation between the President and the Council of State. As such the Chief Justice is unable to provide responses to the allegations made against her in those petitions. I find this quite surprising because the law is clear about the process for making a prima facie determination and the necessity of a response from the Chief Justice. Benin JSC had this to say in Dery v. Tiger Eye P.I. (2016) [Writ No.: J1/29/2015] “There are no hard and fast rules in place but the rules of natural justice and the right to fair hearing will just dictate that the Chief Justice should at least seek a response to the petition from a named respondent before making a prima facie determination under this provision. The fact that it involves examination of available evidence in order to make that determination whether or not a prima facie case exists, it is a quasi-judicial decision-making.” I know President Mahama will not listen to me but he took an oath to uphold the laws of this country and therefore, he should honor his commitment to that oath!

Today is exactly 15 years since I took and subscribed the Constitutional Oath of Office as prescribed by the laws of the State of New York and was duly licensed and admitted to practise by the Supreme Court, Appellate Division (Third Judicial Department) as an Attorney and Counselor at Law in all courts in the State of New York. Time really flies. To God be the glory.

With just about an hour remaining before the curtain falls on the administration of His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, I want to express my profound gratitude to my Father in Heaven for granting me the favour and wisdom to serve my country. It has been a real privilege to serve first as Legal Counsel to the President and, for the last three months, as Secretary to the President. I am deeply grateful to President Akufo-Addo for entrusting me with these significant responsibilities. As the first—and youngest—person to hold such a high position of influence in government, this opportunity has been quite humbling and educative. The President gave me the platform to thrive, offering invaluable lessons and mentorship. Serving under him, a distinguished lawyer, has been a remarkable learning experience. When I began my role as Legal Counsel, the position itself did not exist —there was no framework or precedent to guide me. One of my achievements that I cherish is the establishment of the Legal Department at the Office of the President, which I am confident will thrive under the capable leadership of my senior and learned colleague, Marietta Brew. President Akufo-Addo’s commitment to excellence was a constant reminder of the importance of our work. His advice—“What we are doing today is for 20 to 30 years; ensure clarity in your drafting so it remains relevant when you are no longer around”—will stay with me forever. Another particularly proud moment for me was receiving the Grand Medal of the Republic of Ghana from him—a recognition I will always treasure. May God bless him for his trust, mentorship, and guidance. I also extend my heartfelt gratitude to my parents, brothers, and extended relatives—for their unwavering support. I owe my deepest appreciation to my wife and children, who have endured countless sacrifices during my service. Your patience and understanding—through cancelled vacations, postponed family moments, and many long weeks without seeing me—are immeasurable. To my colleagues, friends, and everyone who has supported me over the past eight years, thank you for walking this journey with me. Your encouragement and belief in me have made this success possible, and I share it wholeheartedly with you. As I close this chapter, I look forward with faith, trusting that God will write the next one beautifully. Whatever lies ahead, I am confident it will be great. For now, I intend to rest, recharge, and catch up on the many things I’ve missed along the way. God bless you all.

“Mr. Democrat” That was the name the President of Nigeria and Chairman of ECOWAS, President @officialABAT, gave President @NAkufoAddo at yesterday’s ECOWAS Summit in Abuja. Then, he called on everyone at the Summit to give President Akufo-Addo a standing ovation. President Ouattara also called on the Summit to give President Akufo-Addo a standing ovation. One thing was clear: President Akufo-Addo’s leadership and diplomacy on both the regional and continental stages will be missed. He was consistently encouraged to make himself available so that others could call on him to, in the words of President Tinubu, "drink from his fountain of wisdom." God bless President Akufo-Addo. God bless Ghana. God bless ECOWAS.
