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.

Eeeeiii Ghanaians can talk ooo especially uselessss and senselesssss Npp dwarfs.
What i deduced from the comments is that most people did not understand what was written especially for some people of a political inclination.
I admire your sincerity and the truth in you but please do advice your men around you to always consult you for the facts before coming out with attacks and false responses. God bless you.
Such a pathetic liar, gosh such a disgusting personality.piiiii1
So Mahama has accepted that he gave money to someone, so why are his people saying the video is doctored and another saying he was giving out leaflets? Oh! NDC.
Be rational for ounce as a human being. Did you ask the girl whether she is schooling or not. always playing to the gallery. During kuffours time was every child in school? aaabah!!!
JDM TOASO. dont mind those who see nothing good in anything you do. We are waiting patiently come Dec 7 we will give you massive votes. The gap shall be too wide for them and they will surely end up in court.
Are you not ashamed that the girl was not in school but selling on the streets? That is why I am of the opinion that unless there is real improvement in the economy, these Community SHS are going to be white elephants. The people are just not motivatated to go to the classroom. Now is Kofi Adams still maintaining that the video was a 'photoshop'? Kofi Adams is somebody I will tell you that one day he will announce that President Mahama does not even use a washroom in Ghana. He is so overwhelmed that not looks logical for him. Shamae on you Kofi adams. You have been exposed by your own MASTER big time
I think some people here did not read the story well. Anyways i don't blame them because comprehending is soo hard for them. LOL
THIS IS TO TELL YOU MAHAMA THAT TIMES UNDER YOUR WATCH, NO MATTER HOW HARD PARENTS ARE TRYING
