He recounted that on July 1, 2025, during the senior citizens’ programme, President Mahama saw Daddy Lumba and noticed he was unwell.
Kwame A Plus explained that the President had plans to help, but Daddy Lumba was very difficult to reach.
According to him, President Mahama had remarked that Lumba was not looking too good and that he wanted to have another conversation with him and take care of him.
“On July 1, 2025, during the senior citizens’ programme, the President saw Daddy Lumba and felt that he was unwell. You know, the President had plans, but Daddy is very difficult to reach. I contacted him once, and he said he would get back, but the President wanted to take care of everything. He said, ‘Oh, Lumba is not looking too good. I want to have another conversation with him and take care of him.’ John Mahama is a very kind man. He genuinely wanted to help, but Lumba was very private,” A Plus said.

“I contacted him twice. I believe others also reached out, and I think he wanted to prepare himself before meeting the old man (the President). The old man actually informed people to take care of Lumba, so I know that now that he has passed, he will continue to do a lot. You know, when we are alive, people don’t always care, but this is a President who spoke with me on two separate occasions, asking if I had got in touch with him.” He concluded by noting that while people often fail to show concern when someone is still alive, this was a President who had spoken with him on two separate occasions, asking if he had successfully got in touch with Lumba.
