Ibrahim Mahama hilariously questions young lady

In a TikTok video seen by YEN.com.gh, Ibrahim Mahama was seen arriving at the grand ceremony accompanied by media mogul Bola Ray and a police officer.

As he entered the new building, a young lady politely asked the businessman for a photo with her smartphone after seeing him at the event.

In response, Ibrahim Mahama began to laugh and jokingly asked why the lady wanted a photo with him rather than with his elder brother, President John Mahama, at the event.

"The President is here, and you are looking for a humble man like me. Who am I?"

The Engineers and Planners CEO later granted the excited young lady's request and posed for photos with her and another individual.
