In a Facebook post on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, Davis Opoku said that the gesture from the president's brother was an example of his willingness to assist others in their times of need.
"In February 2020, after a near-fatal accident, a close friend of mine received an unexpected call. It was Ibrahim Mahama. He asked that the hospital be informed to prepare me to be evacuated out of the country on his private jet. It was a moment that revealed the depth of his kindness and readiness to help when it truly mattered," he wrote.
The Mpraeso MP made this post in reaction to reports that Ibrahim Mahama had donated his old private jet to the state to be used as an air ambulance.
He praised the Ghanaian business mogul for donating the jet to be turned into an air ambulance for emergency response across the country.
"Today, seeing him dedicate his old jet to be converted into a lifesaving air ambulance for nationwide emergency response is both inspiring and commendable. Acts like this remind us that leadership and patriotism are often expressed through quiet generosity and service to others," he further wrote.
"If he has made this commitment to support emergency medical care in Ghana, then it is only right that we wish him well and pray for God’s continued blessings upon him and this noble initiative. Ghana needs more acts of compassion and national service like this," he added.
