Despite the hand gestures by the elderly woman, Mahama could be seen smiling broadly as he listened to her.
The President could then be heard introducing the Regional Minister to the elderly woman, assuring her that he was in charge of handling issues affecting the region.
At that point, Asiedu Nketia, who was seated next to him, stood and handed money to the elderly woman, an act which pleased her. The woman, in turn, shook hands with the NDC national chairman.
President Mahama then introduced the woman to Asiedu Nketia and quizzed her if she knew of General Mosquito, a remark that drew laughter.
“Do you know this man? He is called General Mosquito.”
The woman continued to converse with the President as though they knew each other well before she was wheeled away.
