Retired General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, the immediate past Chief of the Defence Staff, has expressed his excitement about retirement, describing it as a long-awaited period of freedom.
According to him, stepping down from active service has granted him the luxury of setting his own schedule, free from the demands of official duties.
Reflecting on his 41 years of service in the Ghana Armed Forces, General Oppong-Peprah shared his pride in his accomplishments.
“I feel so excited that after 41 years of dedicated service to the Ghana Armed Forces, I am about to have my freedom and be able to sleep and wake up at my own time. It is a big excitement.
“The highlight of my career was becoming a four-star general, which is the highest rank every military officer aspires to. I am proud of myself for being the first four-star general of the Ghana Armed Forces and serving as the Chief of Defence Staff,” he stated.
Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Brigadier General William Agyapong as the Acting Chief of the Defence Staff to succeed him.
