A 65-year-old Tamale-based businessman and philanthropist, Alhaji Ayaana, has finally reached the Greater Accra Region.
Alhaji Ayaana reached the Greater Accra Region on the second day of his walking journey from Kumasi to Accra for President-elect John Mahama’s swearing-in ceremony.
According to reports, the Tamale businessman is walking from Kumasi to Accra on foot aiming to arrive in Accra on 7th January 2025.
The information gathered suggests that the businessman and philanthropist traveled to Kunasi by vehicle before embarking on his journey on foot.
His 250 km walk is to honor President-elect John Mahama for his decisive win in the 2024 presidential elections.
In a video shared by EDHUB, the 65-year-old man was captured very determined, walking, clothed in the flag of Ghana with an Ambulance in the background in case of an emergency.
Meanwhile, some Ghanaians under the post have criticized the 65-year-old man being accompanied by an Ambulance, one X user wrote, “Is that not an ambulance following him? That ambulance would have been used for something more sensible than this. Towns and villages are without ambulances but because a man wants to walk to Accra of his own accord and an ambulance is with him. 🫣🤔🤫”
Another user wrote, “He has an ambulance escorting him on this mission ??? that’s nice. But when people in critical emergencies need the services of the ambulance it becomes a problem. Sigh”
