Taking to social media, the president posted a simple yet touching photo of a newborn baby resting peacefully, wrapped gently in a soft blanket. The setting looked quiet and warm, giving the moment a very personal feel.
In his caption, he wrote:
“Welcoming my latest grandkid, Thanina Gyamfua Mahama. Congrats, Shafik and Asma.”
The message may have been short, but it carried a lot of emotion. It was a proud grandfather moment, shared without too much noise, yet it quickly caught attention online.
The newborn, identified as Thanina Gyamfua Mahama, is the child of Shafik Mahama and his wife Asma. The couple, who are known to live a private life, have mostly stayed away from the public eye, making moments like this rare to see.

The image itself also played a role. With the baby lying calmly on a couch near a window, the natural light and quiet background added to the emotional feel of the moment. It was simple, yet it spoke volumes.
Over the years, John Mahama has occasionally shared glimpses of his family life, but not too often. That is why posts like this tend to draw attention, especially when they involve milestones such as births.
For now, the message remains what it is at its core. A father celebrating his son, and a grandfather welcoming a new life into the family.
Netizens reacted to Shafik's newborn arrival
For many, the post was not just about a birth, but about family. It showed a softer side of Mahama, away from politics and public duties. A moment where he was simply a grandfather celebrating new life.
Social media users who came across the post reacted in different ways. While some admired the photo's peaceful nature, others focused on the child's name and the joy of welcoming a new member to the family.
