In a video on X, President John Mahama and Akabenezer met briefly at the Prempeh International Airport in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, on Saturday, October 25, 2025. The President was in Kumasi for an official engagement.
When he met the Akabenezer, also known as Dr Likee, President Mahama looked happy and praised him for his entertaining content. He conceded that Dr Likee’s skits always make him laugh.
Dr Likee took the brief opportunity he got to give President Mahama a special invitation to the upcoming stage play, Akwaaba Vs. Oobake. President Mahama said he was delighted to receive such an invitation.
All this while Appiah Stadium was standing close by and waiting to speak to the President. But when President Mahama finished talking to Dr Likee, he only told Appiah Stadium that he would give him a call later.
