Former President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed how his daughter Farida Mahama felt after he lost the 2016 Presidential elections.
Delivering a graduation lecture on the theme, “Challenges of democracy and development in Africa”, at the Institute of Security Studies in Nigeria, the former President recounted: “my daughter, Farida, who had gone to school in the morning arrived in the afternoon. She found me lying in bed which was unusual, because when I was President we could go a whole week without seeing each other.”
“She leaves the house early in the morning to be able to get to school on time, by which time I probably had not gotten out of bed. She gets back home late afternoon and I am in the Office and I get back in the night when she is asleep. So, we could go the whole week without seeing each other. For the first time, she came back from school and there I was lying on my bed and watching television.
“She asked me, ‘‘Daddy, didn’t you go to the Office?’’ I said ‘‘No, don’t you remember that I handed over to President Akufo-Addo yesterday.’’ She said OK; so it means you are not going to the Office anymore? I said ‘‘No, I have no Office to go to.’’ And she said, ‘‘then I am happy!’’ She added, ‘‘so will I be coming home from school and meeting you in the house? I said yes and she said, ‘‘then I am very happy that you lost the elections!”

Jon Mahama is a KLEPTOMANIAC and a LIAR !!!! BIG TIME !!!!!; what kind of cheap story is this from Jon Mahama and even getting the dates wrong ; why are these NDC evil species drowned in the toxic cocktail of lies and deceit ; historicall from the AFRC to PNDC to NDC is all tainted with lies and stilling a single trait in the DNA of Ewes ; the TRUTH is that you can see the thread line between the periods led by one persom Mr JJ Rawlings and ewe thiff ; if you compare the lies and stilling to the basic idelogy to todays product of JJ Rawlings to Jon Mahama stilling rampage then you can trace and see where all this is comming from ; the funny thing is that it is this same JJ Rawlings who chased the father of JOn Mahama out of the country to Ivory Coast as a refugee; today it is his Jon Dramani Mahama who is leading the cHarge in stilling in Ghana . .
I love this girl. Family bonding with
A pretender, an attention seeker, a lier and diabolic . This Mahama is still in a shock and will never understand why the man he has spent so much on people to vilified still defeated him. To the extent of importing Nigerians insulters', Africa Watch editor to insult, attacked the 72 year old man with unpalatable words, yet who Jah Bless no one cures. Today you are here saying your daughter for his defeat. Folks ask this Bole. Mahama, what about his wife Lordina. Was she also happy. This Ford Mahama is yet to overcome the disgraceful lost to man he has paid so much to people to insult. To the extent of breaking in to the ranks of NPP, and was able to lure the greedy ones like Agyapong, Afoko, Nyaho Kennedy Anane and many others. I always thanks Sammy Awuku, John Boadu, Akomea Karbo Ramandan Samira and the other incorruptible young NPP men and women who weather the storm . My heartfelt for Nana Addo for his pure heart. Few men could have survive those insults Mahama hired insulters heaps on Nana Addo .
This is a complete lie, ignore.
wow...kind of family affair..father and daughter..this does not call for any insults...Ghana politics be that..shame
Who Cares about your daughter's feeling in national politics? Did your daughter be-witched you to lose the election? This is a trivial matter that should find it way to international audience. What would happen to his daughter if he won the election? I think in all sincerity, that little girl would jubilant! No throwing of dust in to our eyes, with all due respect!
As JM have said before, because you guys have never been a prez before you don't no how they work.That is why your what ever forces are still going round disturbing our peace. Common sense as they say is not common.
How many times did he go to the office between 7th December and 8th January? Liar!
He is not lying...he is telling the truth simple. He is even a happy man now more than ever and working more harder than the one who won the election. We believe you JM. They can say whatever they like...
