Mahama celebrates faithful wife Lordina on her birthday

Former President John Dramani Mahama has taken to his social media pages to celebrate his wife Lordina for her faithfulness during their marriage.

The former first lady's birthday coincides with Ghana's Independence day and she turned 56 today (March 6, 2019).

Mr Mahama in a post on Instagram said his wife had stood by him in good and bad times.

A caption which accompanied a picture of the couple read: "Happy birthday to a great woman. You have stood faithfully by my side in the best of times and in worst of times. May God on this day shower his bountiful blessings on you!".

John Mahama married Lordina Mahama born Lordina Effah in 1992.

The former first couple will mark their 27th wedding anniversary later in July.
