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.

HOW MANY HAVE GONE OUT THERE TO REALLY FIND OUT IF THE PRESIDENT DID SHARE MONEY? HOW MANY HAVE OPENLY ATTESTED TO RECEIVING SOME OF THE MONEY? IS THE TRUTH IMPORTANT TO US AT ALL, AS A NATION IN SEARCH ON INFORMATION? LET'S BE WARE THAT JUST A WORD OR TWO, A FALSEHOOD - WRITTEN OR SPOKEN - COULD OVERTURN THIS COUNTRY'S WOBBLING PEACE. LET US ALSO PONDER LATE PRESIDENT MILLS' CATION ABOUT THE MAN WITH A BOX HEADING TO THE UNKNOWN. YOU NEVER VALUE PEACE AND FREEDOM, TILL YOU LOSE THEM. IT WILL TAKE JUST A MOMENT IN TIME TO HALT THE DEATH DANCE.
That's a good thing Mr. Prez. But I thought one of your communicators said you do not carry money with you?

prez Mahama has created poverty and go round to quench it with BRIBE whilst he and his family members are enjoying betta.
The tape was doctored, the president does not carry money, i dont believe it happened,he was sharing leaflets. Now that the cat is out of the bag that the President indeed was robbed of GHC50 and also gave out another GHC50, who is telling the truth. Asem seb3
Don't forget president Mahama once said Ghanaians have short memory so he thinks we have forgotten about the hardship he has brought on Ghanaians, can bribe and vote for him again. Tofiakwa!!!!!!! Ghanaians are no more ***barred word*** to vote for NDC again. Aimless party,(NDC)can go to hell. NPP all the way.
AND STILL YAANOM DEY COMPALIN................JM FORGET THEM BECAUSE THEY WILL ALWAYS TALK.WE DEY YOUR BACK.
Why is the npp becoming so petty and hanging on just anything to ridicule the president? You like it or not JDM is affable, likable, admirable by not only ghanaians but the international community. He is winning the december polls. If you guys feel ghana is a hell to live in, pack bag and baggage and go somewhere else. You are going to be under NDC rule for the next 20 years
This your president is a pathological 'laya'. Even if you catch him on top of a woman, he will say he is removing something from her eyes.
