The President made the touching visit to the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) on Saturday, February 21, 2026. The visit came shortly after the revered traditional leader was involved in a serious road accident on the Oti Highway earlier in the week, an incident that raised widespread concern across the Ga State and the nation.
The President’s gesture demonstrated deep respect for Ghana’s traditional institutions and the important bond between national leadership and cultural authorities. Accompanied by his entourage, President Mahama arrived in the evening to personally check on King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II’s recovery, offering well-wishes and support during a difficult time for the Ga community.
