President-Elect John Dramani Mahama and his family held a thanksgiving service on Sunday, December 15, 2024, at the Ringway Gospel Assemblies of God Church, at Osu, in celebration of his victory in the recent general elections.

He was joined by prominent members of the National Democratic Congress and well-wishers to celebrate their resounding victory with a heartfelt thanksgiving to God.

As part of his thanksgiving, Mahama and his family distributed goodie bags to church members, adding to the joyful atmosphere and expressing their appreciation.

The thanksgiving bags contained various items, including food packs, Ekumfi Pineapple Juice, bottled water, and canned drinks.

The inclusion of the Ekumfi Juice, locally-produced, as part of the items has ignited debates among Ghanaian users on X on Monday, December 16, 2024.

From the comments, some netizens have congratulated President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his legacy, stressing that Ekumfi Juice is a product of his 1 District 1 Factory initiative.

According to them, posterity will be kind to the outgoing president for his initiatives, while criticising members of the NDC for downplaying the impact of the 1D1F project.

Other netizens, holding a different view, argued that Mahama's patronage of Ekumfi Juice demonstrates his support for made-in-Ghana products.

They believe Mahama has shown exemplary leadership by sharing the Ghanaian product, sending a strong message that Ghanaians should follow suit.

They also emphasised that Mahama's patronage of the drink underscores his commitment to supporting the 1D1F initiative launched by the outgoing government.

Here are some of the posts under the trending topic:

First time I took a pineapple drink and didn’t react in decades, was when I drank the Ekumfi “Refresh”.

JM is hinting that he’s going to support successful 1D1F projects. https://t.co/Mjlu5ATAd6

You see how foolish you're. You thought you where bringing it up for people to cook him but it's the other way round now am sure you're reading the comment. Adding the ekumfi fruit juice to the package shows you how Mahama likes and patronize made in Ghana things. https://t.co/VqkjDus9PW

Chale this whole Ekumfi fruit juice thing is telling me one thing, Ghanaians r stupid and it will take forever to move forward as a nation. You CLAIM the product is as a result of the out-going government’s initiative so therefore the incoming president should not patronize. Wow
