Ibrahim Mahama Donates GH¢50,000 at NPP’s Mac Manu’s Wife’s Funeral as Kufuor, Akufo-Addo, Bawumia, and NAPO Arrive

Beyond Party Lines: Ibrahim Mahama Gives GH¢50k as NPP Stalwarts Gather for Mac Manu’s Wife’s Funeral

A SHOW OF UNITY IN GRIEF

The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Mac Manu, wife of former NPP National Chairman Peter Mac Manu, brought together Ghana’s political heavyweights — across party lines.

Who was there:
The solemn ceremony saw the arrival of top NPP stalwarts including:
• Former President John Agyekum Kufuor
• Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
• Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
• Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh - NAPO

The donation that got people talking:
Businessman Ibrahim Mahama, brother to President John Dramani Mahama, donated GH¢50,000 towards the funeral. The gesture was announced to mourners and drew applause.

This reflects a long-standing Ghanaian tradition where political figures, regardless of party, show support to bereaved families. Ibrahim Mahama has a history of such donations — he previously gave GH¢200,000 at Empress Gifty’s mother’s funeral in January 2025, and GH¢100,000 at Dr. Kofi Abban’s mother’s funeral.

Why this matters:
In a time of sharp political division, funerals often become rare spaces where NPP and NDC leaders stand side by side. Kufuor, Akufo-Addo, Bawumia and NAPO representing the NPP, while Ibrahim Mahama represents the First Family of the NDC government.

It’s a reminder that behind the manifestos and the rallies, Ghana’s political class still honors shared customs: respect for elders, support for widows, and solidarity in mourning.

As the family of Mrs. Mac Manu lays their loved one to rest, the presence and donations from across the political spectrum sent one clear message — some values transcend party colors.
