“Alhamdulillah, at a crucial moment for the country, a huge responsibility has been placed on my shoulders. InshaAllah, I will try my best to carry out this responsibility to the best of my ability,” he told reporters at the Secretariat.

Responding to a question, Ghani said he would continue to work in the same manner as he had done in the past.
