According to Ghana Web report, On Sunday, December 15, 2024, President-elect John Dramani Mahama and his wife, Lordina Mahama, expressed their heartfelt gratitude for a successful electoral campaign with a Thanksgiving Service at the Assemblies of God Ringway Gospel Church in Accra. The service was organized to thank God for Mahama’s victory in the 2024 presidential election and was attended by church members, media representatives, and numerous supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
During the service, Mahama took a moment to reflect on the journey that led to his win, acknowledging the support of his family, the NDC, and all Ghanaians who played a part in his success. “Today, we gather to give thanks for the victory that was made possible by God’s grace and the unwavering support of the people,” Mahama said in his remarks.
A special feature of the event was the distribution of branded food packages, an initiative that symbolized appreciation for the congregation and guests. Each package included a serving of Jollof rice, another dish, Ekumfi Juice, water, and a carbonated drink, making the offering both a gesture of goodwill and a celebration of local Ghanaian products. The food packages were branded with Mahama’s name and the NDC’s logo, which sparked considerable buzz on social media.
Ghanaian journalist Malisecullen shared images of the food boxes online, showing off the contents and the NDC branding. The inclusion of Ekumfi Juice, a locally produced beverage, drew praise from many, with people noting that it reflected Mahama’s commitment to promoting Ghanaian industries. “This is a great way to support local businesses and show love for Ghanaian products,” one social media user commented.
The distribution of food packages not only emphasized Mahama’s gratitude but also fostered a sense of unity among Ghanaians. Many social media users expressed their regret for not attending the event and suggested that another larger Thanksgiving celebration should be organized after Mahama’s official swearing-in on January 7, 2025. Some even proposed holding it at a stadium to accommodate the large number of supporters eager to join the celebration.
