Adinkra symbols in President Mahama's inaugural attire

First, the colourful kente cloth symbolises Ghana's rich culture, richness, and tradition, while the predominantly white colour, crucial in Ghanaian culture, signifies triumph.

The Nyame Dua, or "tree of God," is an Adinkra emblem representing God's presence and protection.

Sankofa, which means "to go back for the best," is a way for Mahama to thank Ghanaians for their support and for helping him regain his authority.

Gye Nyame (Except God): This sign depicts God's all-powerful dominance. John Mahama thanks the God he worships.

Ram's horn, or Dwennimmen, represents his power and humility, and he is prepared to use both to serve his homeland.
