The 65th Anniversary celebration of Ghana Senior High School (Ghanasco) in Tamale on Saturday, November 22, 2025, was filled with excitement—made even more special by the presence of President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama.
But the moment that truly stole the show was the President’s warm encounter with Sulemana Abdul Samed, popularly known as Awuche, Ghana’s tallest man. Standing at about 7 feet 4 inches due to a condition known as gigantism, Awuche became the center of attention as he shared a friendly exchange with President Mahama. Videos shared online showed Awuche bending slightly to greet the President, a heartwarming scene that quickly went viral.
Awuche, a well-known figure from Gambaga, thrilled attendees and online followers alike, turning the brief meeting into one of the most talked-about highlights of the celebration. The moment showcased the President’s approachable side while celebrating the unique diversity within Ghana.
