– In a surprising turn of events, former President John Dramani Mahama was left momentarily speechless during a recent National Democratic Congress (NDC) rally. The unexpected moment occurred when an enthusiastic supporter made a bold comment about Mahama’s personal life.
The rally, held to galvanize support for the NDC’s 2024 campaign, was progressing smoothly with Mahama addressing the crowd on various national issues. However, the atmosphere took a light-hearted turn when a supporter shouted, “Eii Abi! What about the side chick?” The comment, which was clearly audible over the public address system, elicited laughter and gasps from the crowd.
Mahama, known for his calm demeanor, paused briefly before responding with a smile, “Let’s focus on the issues that matter to our country.” His composed reaction was met with applause and cheers from the audience, who appreciated his ability to handle the situation with grace.
The incident quickly became a talking point on social media, with many praising Mahama’s quick wit and others debating the appropriateness of the comment. Despite the unexpected interruption, the rally continued without further incident, with Mahama reiterating his commitment to addressing the pressing concerns of Ghanaians.
As the NDC gears up for the 2024 elections, moments like these highlight the unpredictable nature of political campaigns and the importance of staying focused on the larger goals.
