In a heartwarming gesture, President John Mahama has met with two elderly craftsmen who designed the Hwedom, the presidential seat of Ghana's Fourth Republic.
Agya Akwasi Agyei and Kwaku Appiah, residents of Sekyere North, enjoyed this honour when the president met with them in Kumasi, as captured in a video shared on TikTok by a Kumasi-based radio station.
The video has since sparked a wave of reactions from some Ghanaians who have praised President Mahama's efforts at recognising and appreciating the contributions of skilled artisans in the country.
The two men, who are credited with designing and carving Ghana's presidential seat, which is an iconic piece of furniture, and which holds significant cultural and historical value, representing the country's rich heritage and craftsmanship, were seen shaking the hands of the president.
