It was around 6:00pm, Thursday, the 27th of September 2012, and the evening was easy going. Scores of people from the New York State, and its environs began to converge at Marriott Marquis Hotel in the New York City, where the President of the republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, was lodging. A little over an hour after the first person arrived, the intensity of the shouting and hooting were loud enough to attract the attention of by-passers.
