There was reveling, cheering and dancing as President John Mahama commissioned the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange on Monday.

Dancers did the 'thunderbolt, the popular sign-off by Jamaican star athlete Usain Bolt which President Mahama has adopted.

Ghanaians were invited to witness the official opening of the €74million Kwame Nkrumah interchange in Accra set to significantly improve the traffic situation in the capital.

The Kwame Nkrumah Circle is now the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange fitted with little fountains.

The interchange comprises a fly-over from the State Housing Corporation head office to Paloma on the Ring Road, the Akasanoma fly-over, which is located at Circle, the Nsawam fly-over and a bridge over the Odaw River.

The premises was packed with party supporters eager to dramatise the commissioning as fresh evidence of the President's stellar performance in government.

And of course in Africa, there is a lot of dancing at national and political events.

Presidential candidate of the Ghana Freedom Party and a Mahama fan Akua Donkor who has been disqualified from the 2016 elections was there.

Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) leader Henry Lartey was also there.

Dep. Tourism Minister Dzifa Gomashie took to the red carpet as government appointees witnessed the commissioning of Mahama's landmark achievement.

After a long wait, President John Mahama arrived to cheers from the teeming supporters.

It is not a bad occasion to slip in a request to the president. If not now when? A chief shares a private moment with the president.
