The government has not and will not hire any business or person to create framed images of the official photograph in large quantities for distribution, according to a statement signed by president spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu.

The statement went on to say, "President Mahama's leadership and dedication to the Ghanaian people are embodied in the portrait." It will represent our great country's ideals and objectives and act as a symbol of pride and solidarity.
