Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, was among 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.

Responding to journalists at the event, Senator Nwoko praised the smooth transition of power, describing it as a lesson for the rest of West Africa, particularly Nigeria.

“It’s something we have to imbibe,” Senator Nwoko said. “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 explained.

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.
