After being shown around the place, Mahama, while leaving, decided to interact with some Ghanaians who had gathered at the entrance of the restaurant, apparently after noticing that he was around.
In a show of humility, Mahama opted to pose for pictures with them.
At one point, Mahama, while about to pose for pictures with Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK, suddenly paused momentarily and called for a food server who had come outside from the restaurant and was hoping to get a picture with the President.
The lady’s face lit up with a smile as the President asked that she join them to take the photograph.
