Alhaji Ayaana, a 65-year-old businessman and philanthropist from Tamale, recently completed an inspiring 250-kilometer journey from Kumasi to Accra to witness the swearing-in of President-elect John Dramani Mahama on January 7, 2025. As recognition for his dedication, he was presented with a brand-new Renault car and an undisclosed amount of money.
The car was handed over by renowned broadcaster and showbiz personality Kofi Okyere Darko, popularly known as KOD. In a video shared online, Alhaji Ayaana is seen receiving the car keys before stepping inside to take it for a drive. However, the gesture has sparked mixed reactions from the public. While many netizens applauded KOD and others involved for celebrating Alhaji Ayaana’s effort, others expressed differing opinions, questioning the necessity of the gift.
This journey is just one of many symbolic acts by Alhaji Ayaana. In 1997, he walked to honor the second-term inauguration of former President Jerry John Rawlings. Two years later, in 1999, he organized a 16-kilometer peace and health walk in Tamale to promote unity and well-being.
