President John Mahama has given the assurance that he would hand over a peaceful country to his successor, Nana Akufo-Addo.

President-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo, has commended President John Mahama for ensuring and presiding over a peaceful nation when he assumed power as the President of the country.

According to Nana Addo, Mahama has done well in office, especially exhibiting maturity in the face of defeat during the 2016 elections.

"I think all of us in Ghana have to be thankful that we have in him [Mahama] a man who is also devoted to the peace and stability of our country. He has comported himself in a manner to ensure a smooth transition."

Nana Addo made this known when the leadership of the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference called on him at his Nima residence.

"We believe that the manner in which he is going about it, is reassuring to our peace especially when you see what is going on in other parts of our continent and we have to be thankful for that," Nana Addo said.

However, President John Mahama has given the assurance that he would hand over a peaceful country to his successor, Nana Akufo-Addo.

"I inherited a peaceful and stable country from my predecessor, the late President John Evans Atta Mills and will also hand over a peaceful and stable government to my successor, the President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo."
