The day’s most viral highlight unfolded during a private family cake-cutting, where First Lady Lordina Mahama playfully attempted to wrest the knife from her husband’s grip, sparking laughter amid the festivities. The light-hearted tug-of-war, captured in a widely shared video, showcased the couple’s enduring chemistry and quickly amassed thousands of views on social media, with Ghanaians dubbing it the “birthday man’s stubborn slice.” Accompanied by their children, including son Sharaf Mahama, the Mahamas later extended the celebrations to the Ringway Gospel Centre for a special thanksgiving breakfast and fellowship, where Rev. Benjamin Tetteh offered heartfelt prayers. The family’s unity shone through, blending personal milestones with public service as Mahama shared stories of faith that inspired attendees.

Adding a sporty twist, President Mahama took a brief respite with friends at the 4th Head of State Invitational Golf Tournament at Achimota Golf Club, where his swings became instant social media fodder. His opening shot veered dramatically off-course in a comical miss that had onlookers chuckling, but the resilient leader redeemed himself on the second try with a solid hit, earning cheers and memes like “From slice to slice of cake – JM delivers!” The outing highlighted Mahama’s approachable side, mingling elite camaraderie with everyday humor, and underscored his commitment to work-life balance even amid national duties.

From the diaspora to local communities, Ghanaians flooded social platforms with warm wishes, prayers for wisdom, and calls for divine strength to fulfill his pledges of economic revival and inclusive growth. Messages from figures like Rev. Obofour and Amenfi Central MP Joana Gyan Cudjoe hailed him as the “father of possibilities” and an “angel in human form,” while others rallied for his vision to “turn things around for good.” Mahama’s day also included compassionate visits to children’s wards at LEKMA Hospital and Maamobi Polyclinic, where he donated gifts and facilitated medical referrals, proving once again that his birthdays are as much about giving back as celebrating. As the nation tunes in for more, this milestone reaffirms JM’s role as a unifying force in Ghana’s story.
