Ghanian actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, better known as Lilwin, has recounted how former President John Mahama showed him a kind gesture.

The actor revealed in a video circulating on X(formerly known as Twitter) that he once got a late-night call from the former president indicating that he'd bought 200 tickets for his movie's premiere. He added that those tickets be given to people who might not be able to afford it.

According to him, John Mahama exhibited the kind gesture to support his movie. He mentioned that the NDC Flagbearer said he would like to attend his film's premiere if he has the time.
