Chairman of the Council of State, Edward Doe Adjaho, has reaffirmed the Council’s commitment to supporting President John Dramani Mahama in strengthening governance.
His assurance follows the swearing-in of a 31-member advisory body by President Mahama on Tuesday, February 18. The council comprises both elected and appointed members, following elections held on February 11 and 17.
Addressing the gathering, Doe Adjaho dismissed calls for the abolition of the Council of State, stressing that the newly inaugurated body will play a crucial role in national development.
“I want to assure you on behalf of the Council of State that we will work as a team, we will support you in the governance structure in the discharge of our constitutional and statutory responsibilities,” he stated.
He also underscored the collective experience of the council members, expressing confidence in their ability to contribute meaningfully to governance.
“It is true that many have questioned the relevance of the Council of State, some have even called for its abolition. But we want to assure you that this Council of State will be a Council of difference. Mr President, you can count on us day and night, we shall respond,” he affirmed.
The newly sworn-in Council of State is expected to serve as a key advisory body, providing strategic counsel to the presidency on national matters.
