Hajia Samira Bawumia, Ghana’s Second Lady, has made a strong appeal to the nation, urging Ghanaians to support and vote for her husband, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the upcoming 2024 general elections. Dr. Bawumia is the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking with confidence in Dr. Bawumia’s leadership capabilities, she assured that his presidency would lead to significant improvements in the country. Addressing a gathering of NPP supporters at Effiakuma Zongo, also known as ‘VIP,’ in Takoradi on Saturday, August 17, ahead of the party’s Manifesto Launch, she declared, “Ghana’s future will be better if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia becomes president.”
Samira Bawumia also highlighted the numerous social interventions introduced by the Akufo-Addo administration, expressing optimism that these initiatives would continue and expand under Dr. Bawumia’s leadership.
Drawing from her own life experiences, the Second Lady, who grew up in a Zongo community, shared how education transformed her life, underscoring the impact of the government’s free education policy.
“I was born and nurtured in the Zongo, and if it hadn’t been for education, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” she stated.
As part of her outreach in Takoradi, she also visited Muslim leaders at the Mosque in ‘Pipe Ano,’ a local suburb.
The NPP is set to launch its Manifesto on Sunday, August 18.
