She extended special thanks to:

• President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama

• Deputy Chief of Staff Stan Xoese Dogbe
• Minister for Government Communications Felix Kwakye Fosu
• The NDC grassroots and foot soldiers

Otoo’s appointment has been met with warm congratulations across social media, where many praised her boldness, advocacy, and media expertise.

Her new role places her at the core of the government’s communications machinery, a position she promises to honour with purpose and impact.
