When President Mahama returned and heard of Joshua Selasi Sefogah's benevolent act, he invited him for a meeting.
The President met the man, during which they engaged in a hearty chat and had a fruitful conversation.
According to the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, the meeting was a blessing for Joshua Selasi Sefogah as well as GTV.
"A good man, Joshua Selasi Sefogah, paid the TV License on behalf of H.E. John Dramani Mahama while the President was on an official trip to China. The President later saw the gesture on social media and invited him for a personal meeting — a moment that became a blessing for both Selasie and GTV."
"The President has since pledged his support to strengthen and reset GTV Ghana," he added.
In a Facebook post, Dr Frank Amoakohene added that Joshua's little act of kindness had opened a bigger door for him.
He encouraged others to use the stated code to pay the TV licence, and if possible, pay for others
"Small acts of patriotism can open great doors. You never know when your moment to shine will come."
