President threw a crowd that had gathered to observe the World Environmental Day at Kwabenya in Accra into fits of laughter when he stated in his remarks, the now-famous phrase, "Fellow Ghanaians…" before quickly catching himself and joking, "Ohh it sounds very familiar ehh." The light-hearted moment came during the President's address at the event which was graced by high-ranking personalities.
As he took to the podium and began his address, Mahama started with the iconic phrase that became a staple of President Nana Akufo-Addo's national COVID-19 addresses-"Fellow Ghanaians." The crowd immediately responded with laughter and knowing glances, recalling the numerous times Ghanaians heard that phrase during the pandemic.
Smiling and clearly amused by the crowd's reaction, Mahama paused and added, "Ohh it sounds very familiar ehh," prompting even louder laughter and applause from the audience. "These days, you say 'Fellow Ghanaians' and everyone braces themselves," he continued, drawing more chuckles. "But don't worry-I come in peace." The moment, which has since gone viral on social media, showcased Mahama's ability to connect with the audience through humor.
