Ex-Ghana, Botswana Presidents Lunch At ‘The Delborough Lagos’, Debate ‘Jollof Rice War’

Two African leaders, at the weekend, had lunch at the famous and luxury hospital outfit, ‘The Delborough Lagos’, where a Ghanaian ex-President, John Dramani Mahama, was spotted debating over Ghanaian and Nigerian jollof rice with Nigeria’s former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka.

Mahama and another former President of Botswana, Ian Khama, who were both in the hotel on their visit to Nigeria, made the moment thrilling for their audience and other customers around.

In a viral video, Chidoka, standing with Mahama, was heard saying, “He is saying that because of his Nigerian link as former President of Ghana and about to become President again, he will settle the war between Nigerian jollof rice and Ghanaian jollof rice once and for all.”

Responding, Mahama said, “We will bring the best of Nigerian jollof makers and Ghanaian jollof makers and then bring President Tinubu and myself to The Delborough. We will taste it and we will agree finally.”

Mahama, who was the President of the Republic of Ghana (2012 to 2017), is the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ghana’s December presidential poll.

In his reaction, former Botswanan President Khama commended the young Nigerian entrepreneur and owner of The Delborough Lagos, Dr. Stanley Uzochukwu, “for doing something spectacular in Nigeria and on African soil.

“I am happy to be at ‘The Delborough’ and thanks to Dr. Stanley for doing something spectacular in Nigeria.”

Other prominent African leaders and captains of industries at the lunch included one of the Board Members of ‘The Delborough Lagos’, Chief Mike Ozekhome; Air Peace Airline CEO, Chief Alex Onyema; Senator Daisy Danjuma; MTN Nigeria CEO, Karl Olutokun Toriola, and other dignitaries.

Among the highlights of the moment was a live performance by a young Nigerian sensational Gospel singer, Moses Bliss, who further ignited the happy mood of the guests.
