Most parents around the globe want their children or wards to have greater lives which are even better than what they have had. For this reason, they pull up all their resources to make sure that their kids get the best things in life.
There are a lot of great parents in Ghana who wish for nothing but the best for their kids.
In today’s article, let us find out the only Ghanaian teacher who doubled as a politician whose son became an MP, a Minister of state, a vice president and a president of Ghana. This is a very great achievement and in my opinion, such father is the most successful father in Ghana.
John Dramani Mahama’s father, Mr. Emmanuel Adama Mahama is the legend in this article. He was a professional teacher as well as a politician.
He was an educator and a rice farmer. He was the first Minister of State for the Northern Region under the Nkrumah government. Adama Mahama also served as a senior presidential adviser during Ghana’s Third Republic under Hilla Limann. He was also the first MP for the West Gonja constituency. He married to Abiba Nnaba.
