He said Nana Addo is facing a daunting task due to the numerous challenges.
Addressing the congregation at the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Madina Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Trinity Parish, Mahama said the challenges facing the leadership of the parish were nothing compared to the ones President Akufo-Addo is faced with.

He said "Leadership is not an easy thing. We must always pray for leaders. I’ve been there before and I know what it’s like. Sleepless nights. And I’m sure my successor is also having very sleepless nights. If you are a leader even of a small parish like this, the kinds of problems I’m sure Reverend Osiakwa has to handle are just a microcosm of the kinds of problems that President Nana Addo must be facing by now."
"We must also always respect our leaders. Indeed, if you do not even like the personality in the position or in the office, you must show respect to the office, because you don’t know when you yourself will find yourself there. Or your son will find himself there, or your relative will find himself there, or even somebody you like will find himself there" he added.
He also accused the president of unnecessarily bashing his government instead of proving how capable he can be in running the economy.
He also kicked against the negative attitude of denigrating leaders since there was the possibility that they could receive similar treatment should they find themselves in leadership positions.

He noted: "If you have developed the culture of denigrating the office you will find that when you get there you have so denigrated the office that you cannot command the kind of respect that you also think you deserve."
