He expressed profound gratitude to public service workers and the Vice President, Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang stating he could not have chosen anyone else.
“To my Vice President, I say thank you. I could not have wished for a better assistant to help me bear the heavy load Ghanaians have entrusted to me”.
