Former First Lady, Ernestina Naadu Mills, has paid a visit to President John Dramani Mahama and his wife, Lordina Mahama, at their residence in Accra. Her visit was to send John Mahama a very simple message: congratulate him on his victory in the December 2024 general election and his return to the highest office of the land.
Mrs. Naadu Mills and President Mahama share a unique history. During her late husband, President John Evans Atta Mills’ time in office, from January 7, 2009, to July 24, 2012, President Mahama served as the Vice President. Their bond deepened after the sudden passing of President Mills on July 24, 2012. Following this tragic event, Mahama was sworn in as President and went on to win the December 2012 election, securing a full four-year term.
However, after serving his first term, President Mahama lost the December 2016 elections to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and handed over power in January 2017. Despite spending eight years in opposition, Mahama staged a comeback and won the December 2024 general election. On January 7, 2025, he was sworn in for his second term.
Mrs. Naadu Mills’ visit to the Jubilee House is a reflection of her respect for the Mahamas and their leadership journey. While there, she extended her congratulations to President Mahama for his resilience and historic return to power.
President Mahama’s son, Sharaf Mahama, also welcomed Mrs. Mills and expressed his gratitude for her support.
The meeting between Mrs. Mills and the Mahama family signifies a deep connection built over years of shared service and dedication to Ghana.
