Published

on





Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has described the smooth transition of power in Ghana as a lesson for the rest of West Africa, particularly Nigeria.

Nwoko stated this while addressing newsmen as one of the heavyweight Nigerian dignitaries who witnessed the inauguration of John Dramani Mahama as President of the Republic of Ghana, on Tuesday, January 7, in the country’s capital city, Accra.

Senator Nwoko who was at the inauguration with his celebrity wife, Regina Daniels, congratulated the newly sworn in President, saying that the smooth transition of power is a lesson to take home.

“It’s something we have to imbibe,” Senator Nwoko said, adding, “When you lose, you accept the results. That’s the discipline we need to grow our democracy. Elections shouldn’t be a do-or-die affair. When there is a free and fair election, people should accept the outcome.”

The Senator lamented the tendency of some politicians to challenge election results not out of genuine grievance, but to manipulate the judicial process.

“The reason many go to court after they lose is because they believe they can influence the process—confuse or even induce the system. But if we emulate what is happening here in Ghana and in places like America, we can cultivate a culture of free and fair elections,” he enthused.

Senator Nwoko stressed that patriotic contestants who prioritize the nation above personal or party interests are critical for strengthening democracy. “It’s not about the individual or the party; it’s about the nation. That mindset is what we need to adopt,” he added.

Expressing admiration for Ghana’s democratic progress, Senator Nwoko congratulated the people and leadership of the country.

“I wholeheartedly congratulate them. That’s why I’m here with my family—to show support and solidarity. What they have done is remarkable, and we on the other side of West Africa must emulate it. Ghana may be the younger brother, but they’ve shown us what’s possible,” he said.
