Ghanaian boxer and entertainer Bukom Banku has made a heartfelt appeal to former President John Dramani Mahama, asking for financial support to help him care for his large family.

Bukom Banku, who is well-known for his comic personality, flamboyant lifestyle, and unique style of expression, explained that his income from boxing and entertainment has not been enough to sustain his household. He therefore believes that a helping hand from the former President could go a long way in easing his burden.
“I have 13 children, and I’m begging President Mahama to support me. Times are hard, and things are not easy. I really need help to take care of my family,” Bukom Banku pleaded in his usual dramatic fashion, drawing sympathy and reactions from Ghanaians across social media.
The boxer, who has always maintained a strong public presence, has been both admired and criticized for his controversial statements and decisions. Many of his fans, however, see his latest cry for support as a reflection of the harsh economic reality faced by many in the country.
Bukom Banku is no stranger to political discussions, as he has in the past openly declared his support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its leadership. His latest appeal to John Mahama has fueled conversations about how entertainers and sports personalities are often left without sustainable financial backing after their peak years of fame and glory.
