Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Okoku Agyemang and Ibrahim Mahama
Vice President of the Republic, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has expressed her gratitude to God, her medical team, and her boss, the President of Ghana, for their support during her recent illness.
She made special mention of Ibrahim Mahama, the brother of President John Dramani Mahama, for the immense help he extended to her while she was admitted to a hospital abroad.
Speaking at the Presidential Lounge of Kotoka International Airport on Thursday, May 22, 2025, Professor Opoku-Agyemang recounted how close Ibrahim Mahama stayed to her during her recovery and ensured she had everything she needed.
“I want to thank all of you, your prayers, your good wishes. I can’t thank you enough. I am very grateful. But I must single out, beyond family and friends, your brother Ibrahim Mahama. He spared no effort to ensure I had everything I needed. He also came to the hospital and sat by me, and that in itself was healing. So, my little boss, I am very grateful. I am very happy to be back, and there is so much we all have to do. I know that with our collective will, we will achieve much more for our country,” she said.
The Vice President returned to Ghana from the United Kingdom following a period of medical leave abroad.
Her arrival marks the end of her medical recovery, during which she received treatment and rest as advised by her doctors.
Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang was warmly received by President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama, along with close aides and senior government officials.
Among those present at the airport were Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, the Vice President’s Chief of Staff Alex Segbefia, the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church, and members of the Vice President’s family.
Her return is expected to be followed by a series of meetings and national engagements as she resumes her duties in full capacity.
Further updates on her official schedule are expected to be released by her office in the coming days.
