The Member of Parliament for Mpraeso Davis Opoku Ansah has shared a personal account of how businessman Ibrahim Mahama offered to airlift him abroad for medical treatment following a near-fatal accident in February 2020.
The comments come amid reports that Ibrahim Mahama is converting his old private jet into an air ambulance to bolster nationwide emergency response capabilities.
In a post on his Facebook page on March 4, 2026, the lawmaker recounted that a close friend received an unexpected call from Ibrahim Mahama shortly after the accident.
“He asked that the hospital be informed to prepare me to be evacuated out of the country on his private jet,” Opoku Ansah wrote, describing the gesture as a demonstration of the businessman’s compassion and willingness to help in critical moments.
“It was a moment that revealed the depth of his kindness and readiness to help when it truly mattered,” he added.
Reacting to the decision to convert the jet into a flying ambulance, the MP described the move as inspiring and timely.
“Today, seeing him dedicate his old jet to be converted into a lifesaving air ambulance for nationwide emergency response is both inspiring and commendable,” he said.
He further emphasised that acts like these reflect true leadership and patriotism.
“Acts like this remind us that leadership and patriotism are often expressed through quiet generosity and service to others. If he has made this commitment to support emergency medical care in Ghana, then it is only right that we wish him well and pray for God’s continued blessings upon him and this noble initiative. Ghana needs more acts of compassion and national service like this,” Opoku Ansah concluded.
