The outgoing Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Vice Admiral Seth Amoama, has implored the public and all security agencies to accord his successor, Major General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, the needed support to succeed.
Speaking at a brief guard of honour and reception organized by the Ghana Police Service (GPS) in collaboration with other allied security agencies for the outgoing CDS, Vice Admiral Amoama acknowledged the enormous support and collaboration he enjoyed across the board.
He also noted that he has confidence and hope in his successor to deliver on his mandate with remarkable dedication.
“As I end my service, I implore all of you to extend the same cooperation to my successor, Major General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, who is taking over from me. I have every confidence in his astute transformational leadership ability, and I trust that he will take the level of cooperation from where I am leaving and even grow it to a higher level,” he added.
He also expressed appreciation to God and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for allowing him to serve as CDS.
“I first of all want to give glory and thanks to the Almighty God for seeing me through this long and difficult but quite remarkable journey of over four decades and seeing me through a successful end. I also want to thank His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President and Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) for the confidence and trust he reposed in me by appointing me as the Chief of Defence Staff three years ago to lead the GAF,” he said.
Vice Admiral Amoama also thanked the Inspector General of Police (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare, for his sterling leadership of the service and for honouring him with the ceremony.
