Former First Lady Naadu Mills visits first family to offer congratulations

Former First Lady Ernestina Naadu Mills has visited President John Dramani Mahama and his wife, Lordina to congratulate them on their historic return to the Flagstaff House.

Mrs Mills, who was received by the First Family in their home in Accra, visited them to congratulate President Mahama on his victory in the December 2024 election.

It would be recalled that during the tenure Mrs Mills’ husband, President Professor John Evans Atta Mills from January 7, 2009, to July 24, 2012, President John Dramani Mahama was then the Vice President.

Mr. Sharaf Mahama, son of President John Mahama, extends his warm greetings to former Fist Lady Mrs. Ernestina Naadu Mills.

Following the passing of President Mills on July 24, 2012, then Vice President John Dramani Mahama was constitutionally sworn-in as Ghana’s President.

He then went on to win the December 7, 2012 Presidential Election and was inaugurated for his first four-year term of office on January 7, 2013.

President Mahama served his first term from January 7, 2013 to January 7, 2017. Losing the December 7, 2016 general election to the Candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President Mahama handed over power on January 7, 2017.

After eight years in opposition, President Mahama won a decisive victory in the December 7 2024 general election and was inaugurated into office for a second term on January 7, 2025.

Mrs Mills after leaving office as First Lady following the demise of her husband, has maintained a low public profile and avoided state functions.

Her Saturday’s engagement with the Mahamas is one of her rare public engagements over the past 12 years.
