In a caption accompanying the Instagram post, the businessman explained that the moment was a build-up to an upcoming automotive showcase being spearheaded by his son, Ibrahim Mahama Jr., alongside Arnold Agblosu and Jaiden Osei. The trio are behind a supercar spectacle aimed at elevating Ghana’s car culture.

The event was officially unveiled at the Accra Polo Club in late 2025, with the main exhibition slated for 21 December 2025 at the Borteyman Sports Complex. According to the organisers, the initiative is designed to revitalise interest in automobile culture while positioning Ghana as a serious contender on the global automotive events circuit.

The project has already received backing from several prominent figures, including Ibrahim Mahama himself and former Black Stars captain Andre Ayew. In preparation for the event, the organisers have also engaged with leading business personalities such as Richard Nii Armah Quaye and Dr Osei Kwame Despite.
