On Friday, January 10, 2025, President John Dramani Mahama attended the National Prayers and Thanksgiving Service at the National Mosque in Kanda.

During his address, he used a phrase famously associated with former president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, often heard during his public engagements or televised broadcasts.

The moment, which was captured by TV3 and shared on X, showed Mahama saying, "Fellow Ghanaians, I used that intentionally," drawing applause from the crowd.

He added, "I'm sure you haven't heard that for quite some time. So, fellow Ghanaians, my brothers and sisters," eliciting even more cheers.

The National Muslim Thanksgiving is part of the National Democratic Congress' efforts to foster unity and thank the public for granting the party a decisive victory in the December 7 election.
