You could say they have had better times and you wouldn’t be very far from right.

Former President, John Dramani Mahama and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo have over time, been captured in several videos and photos, chatting, and interacting heartily, sometimes, exchanging a few words and laughing.

A trending video circulating on social media, however, portrays a somewhat ‘different’ situation and raises questions about the current relationship between the two.

The President appeared to have somewhat given a rather unusually brief handshake to his ‘contender’ when he went round to shake hands with dignitaries present at the maiden edition of the Kofi Annan Peace and Security Forum Wednesday, September 4, 2019.

It appeared as though the former President was ‘skipped’ with the pleasantries; his demeanor with the persons just before and after the former president has raised eyebrows of several Ghanaians.

While some are questioning the ‘hurried nature of the handshake, others seem to suggest that the two may be ‘avoiding each other’.
