Popular Ghanaian media personality, Genevieve Abrefa Yeboah, popularly known as Oheneni Adazoa, has praised the First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama.

In a recent interview, the Sompa FM presenter noted that she had a good relationship with President John Dramani Mahama's wife, whom she considers a mother.

She noted that Mrs Lordina Mahama gets along with people who have bad behaviours and different political beliefs or affiliations. She said the president's wife always saw something good in the people she regularly encountered.

Oheneni Adazoa recounted how the First Lady developed a friendship with her during their first-ever encounter at an event held by the traditional leader of Techiman, Oseadeeyo Akumfi Ameyaw IV.

She stated that she went to cover the event as a journalist and met Mrs Lordina, who took a great liking to her even though the latter had never met or interacted with her before that day.

Oheneni said Madam Lordina joked that she resembled her younger sibling and wanted to develop a mother-daughter relationship with her.

The Sompa Nkomo radio show host said the president's wife instructed the current Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, to give her contact to her at the event, and they developed a close relationship afterwards.

Oheneni Adazoa shared that she got the chance to travel to the United States of America for the first time thanks to Mrs Lordina, who also funded women's empowerment and developmental programs in Ghana.

The media personality said the First Lady once sponsored a free Cervical Cancer health screening program, which saw over 1,000 women get checked.

She added that Madam Lordina later covered the medical bills of several women who were diagnosed with the health condition and got admitted to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).

Oheneni Adazoa said she also helped former First Lady, Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo, raise significant funds for her ‘Save a Child, Save a Mother’ project, which aimed at constructing a Mother and Child Unit at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) during the New Patriotic Party's tenure in power.
