In a video that has gone viral on X, the man is seen purchasing two balls of kenkey, which were placed in a bowl.
Upon being informed that the price had dropped to GH¢3, he burst into celebration, shouting joyfully and singing while invoking President Mahama’s name in gratitude.
The man expressed deep appreciation to the president for putting measures in place to ensure that food prices became more affordable.
He added that with the current economic rebound, he believed the price of kenkey would soon fall further to GH¢2, with other food items also seeing price reductions.
“A ball of kenkey is GH¢3? John Mahama, Onaapo! Within the next two or three months, it will be GH¢2. God bless you,” he exclaimed.
This reaction comes amid recent appreciation of the cedi against the US dollar.
According to the Bank of Ghana, the cedi is currently trading at a buying price of GH¢12.31 and a selling price of GH¢12.32 to the dollar.
