President John Dramani Mahama has announced the successful restoration of his official X (formerly Twitter) account (@JDMahama) after it was compromised on March 16, 2025.
The breach involved unauthorized promotions of a cryptocurrency scam, Solana Africa, which falsely claimed to be led by the President to facilitate free payments across Africa using the Solana blockchain.
Expressing gratitude for the support received during the incident, President Mahama stated that his team, in collaboration with X support, had regained control of the account
The first indication of the hack came when Mahama’s account began posting promotional content about a cryptocurrency project known as Solanafrica.
My team has restored my account, working with the X support team.
Thank you for your enquiries and offers to assist. #LetsBuildGhanaTogether

He wrote, “Thank you for your inquiries and offers to assist. My team, working with X support, has successfully restored my account.”
The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) initially assured the public that it was collaborating closely with X and other relevant stakeholders to address the issue and prevent future occurrences.
