President Mahama pictured with Awuche, Ghana’s tallest man

Their presence not only brought excitement and joy to the ceremony but also created a unique opportunity for two remarkable men to meet.
President Mahama met Sulemana Abdul Samed, popularly known as “Awuche,” who is recognised as Ghana’s tallest man.
Awuche, who stands at about 7 feet 4 inches, lives with a condition known as gigantism, caused by an excess of growth hormone, which explains why he continues to grow.
