His Excellency John Dramani Mahama puts up a jaw-dropping appearance at the 63rd graduation ceremony of the Ghana Military Academy in Accra.
He donned a full naval uniform in honor of the occasion. This marks his second time dressing in a military uniform, being the president of the Republic and commander-in-chief of the Ghana Armed Forces in his second term. His first time dressing as such was 9 years ago in the armed forces camouflage.
The event, held at the Teshie Military Academy and Training School in Accra, saw Mahama in his capacity as the leader of the Ghana Armed Forces reviewing the passing-out parade of cadets who have completed their military training.
Clad in the white ceremonial uniform of the Ghana Navy, Ghana's president's presence and choice of outfit generated buzz both at the venue and on social media.

Among his duties at the ceremony were the supervision of the parade (the reviewing officer) as the commander-in-chief, presentation of a ceremonial speech, presentation of awards to the best passing-out cadets, and inspection of the parade.
Delivering his speech, the president congratulated the passing-out soldiers, praised them for their bold decision to serve their motherland, Ghana, and promised that his administration would improve the conditions of service of the Ghana military.

President Mahama also touched on security and peace issues in the country. He stressed that all allegations of crime would be taken seriously, warning that the country does not have the luxury of time for "games of smoke and mirrors."
He also mentioned the conflict in Bawku in his speech, announcing that the Otumfo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene-led peace mediation process aimed at ending the protracted conflict in the northern part of Ghana, will resume next week.
