Former First Lady, Lordina Mahama, has hit back at persons criticising her husband and former President, John Dramani Mahama upon his request to keep a state bungalow as part of his retirement packages.
Describing her husband as “a man of integrity and principle”, Mrs Mahama wrote in a tweet on Wednesday that all attempts by his critics to portray him negatively would not succeed.
“This too shall pass.Their efforts shall fall flat because you are a man of integrity & principle.They shall be put to shame by #MahamaLegacy,” she tweeted.
President Mahama on Wednesday withdrew his request to keep the state bungalow in which he resided at No.3 Prestige Link, Cantoments following several criticisms by sections of the public.
In a one page letter signed by himself to President Nana Akufo-Addo, the former president also withdrew his request to use Bungalow No.6, 3rd Avenue at Ridge as his office.
Mr Mahama’s request to keep the bungalows contravened approved recommendations set by the Professor Dora Francisca Edu-Buandoh Committee on Emoluments and Conditions of Service for Article 71 office holders.
The committee which was set up by the former president recommended that the former president be paid 40 per cent of his monthly salary as rent allowance.

madam park urself somewhere wai, we've had enuf of u n ur husband
Ei Amirlka, is DT you? No I don't believe you wrote this. Not not not. Cos I know you can't write
If I may support anything at all, it is not the giving of mansions to outgoing presidents. Every serious president can build his own settlement before he/ she leaves office. Where after all in Ghana cant they acquire lands for free with free donations from citizens and labor for the construction.
Folks do not break a sweat about this. The post wasn't written by her, we all know that she can't write!
A man of integrity who allowed his subordinate to steal huge state funds so that he can have his picture shamelessly branded on a state bus. Man of integrity indeed. A man of integrity who roams the world with a ***barred word*** woman like Akua Donkor and then pay her to insult his political opponents.
This so called former first lady does not know shame. We remember very well when the NDC hiding behind the notorious group called Ga/Dangme youth drove Kuffuor from his office while Gbevlo Lartey gave Kuffuor 24 hours to vacate the place which was later occupied by Lordina. That incident was the lowest point of Prof. Mills's presidency. Lordina's husband, John Mahama did not see anything morally wrong with that despicable behaviour. Today, the ***barred word*** Lordina is crying.
Go and pay the 380 million dollars you took from cocoa board. Opuni is looking for you madam.
A man of integrity and principle right? Then he shouldn't have made this request at all.
Madam Lordina or whatever, you now see it is painful. Why didn't you say NO when your husband and NDC administration gave you a place Former President Kuffuor had earlier requested to use as an office. That was a selfish request from you and your greedy husband. Nana Akuffo Addo had no problem given the said house to you and your husband but the public said NO to that request.
How many times did she speak as first lady during her tenure? Did his critics write the request for him? Wrong is wrong!!!
