President John Mahama of Ghana on Friday became the first ever President of the Republic of Ghana to record one million followers on his Facebook page.
The social media savvy President issued a statement Friday to thank his fans after recording one million followers.
In a video statement posted on his official page he said, “We are one million already on Facebook; our community, like a seed of hope, has been growing constantly over the years and has turned into a robust tree.”
“Thanks to you all my dear friends. We’ve just achieved a major milestone. We are one million already on Facebook… The ultimate objective of politics is human interaction for progress and development and Facebook offers us the opportunity to exchange views, ideas and emotions in a direct manner,” Mahama said.
“Because of this exchange, you know me better, and I feel, I know and understand you better too. You’ve made me a better leader and in a sense a better person. I hope that in turn I have made you proud of our mother Ghana… I am and forever will be one of you.”
According to him, “This is why as your president I fight hard each day to make sure our dear nation moves forward. There is a tremendous lot yet to do, but our progress is undeniable, especially when it comes to the development of social infrastructure which has created some decent number of jobs already. Everything I do I do with you in my heart and with you the good people of Ghana in mind… many thanks to all of you for this 1 million milestone.”
