President John Dramani Mahama has admitted giving out money during a campaign trail as captured in a video which has gone viral on various media platforms.
According to the Daily Post Newspaper which spoke to the President currently in the USA, the incident happened when they entered Sabon Zongo through a narrow and a heavy crowd following him.
The president who has since laughed off claims he was distributing money according to paper explained that from the top of his vehicle, he saw a little girl with a tray of boiled egg in the crowd being pushed by the cheering crowd amidst the jostling. The tray fell from the girl’s head and the crowd trampled on the fallen eggs. The girl then burst into tears.
Touched by what only he could see because of where he was standing, he ordered the man who commands his convoy (who was in his vehicle) to stop the convoy. The convoy thus stopped.
President Mahama said he then took GH¢50 from his ADC, pointed to the crying girl in the crowd and then reaching down from the top of the vehicle, gave it to a woman standing by her thinking she was with the girl.”
However, he was surprised to see the girl still crying so he asked her if the woman was the mother. When the girl shook her head and he noticed the woman had moved away, he took another GH¢50 from his ADC and gave it to the girl. This drew wild cheers from the teeming crowd.”
President Mahama recalled that it was even the crowd that helped the girl forward towards his vehicle to enable her take the money because they knew he was compensating her for what she had lost. It explains why the people around were not scrambling for the money.

Mr.Abodapki and CoS please come again.Your lies are now exposed.
@AMETEPE your likes are finding it so hard to write the wrong off president Mahama. 1. we were told the president does not carry money but at this instance he miraculously "charmed" money from his car and gave it out. 2. this publication obviously coming from "daily-post" an NDC paper wants us to believe that all the people president Mahama gave money were all selling eggs. Ohhh is it not rather ironic that an egg seller will rather sell her delicate "egg" among the hundred of people who were dancing to the president's entourage??? Pathetic!!!!
this guy collects bribes. I know an American road contractor who is trying to build roads in Ghana but he's being frustrated by the NDC thugs because he won't pay bribes to this incompetent president. So sad.
KOFI ADAMS SAYS THE TAPE WAS DOCTORED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
IF THE ECONOMY WAS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE ,WILL THE SMALL GIRL BE SELLING EGGS IN THE HOT AFTERNOON SUN OR IN SCHOOL BEING TAUGHT. ? CLEARLY THEY ARE NOT GETTING IT. ? WHO DID THIS TO US GHANAIANS. ? ARE WE NOT BETTER THAN THIS. ?
Please, what was the leaflet for? What was written in it that he was sharing sooooo many leaflets? Invitation to a concert party or what?
