The groundbreaking was to signify the beginning of a crucial initiative to protect the coastline.
In a video on X, President Mahama, who was wearing a helmet, climbed onto the excavator and sat in the operator’s seat.
An operator joined the President and helped him buckle his seat belt. Afterwards, the operator could be seen talking to President Mahama, possibly giving him instructions on how to control the excavator.
President Mahama followed the instructions and collected some heavy rocks into the bucket and dropped them at another place.

The instructor then got down and left President Mahama alone to control the heavy vehicle. He successfully moved more rocks from one place to another. The President did it with ease and got everyone present clapping for him. He made it seem like he had operated such a vehicle before.
When he was done, President John Mahama got off the excavator. The chiefs and other dignitaries present shook his hands to congratulate him for a great job done.

“Why did the bodyguard yank the operator off the machine when the Prez was exiting the machine?....that's not safe practice considering the machine's engine still running and the Prez not an experienced operator also.”
