Hajia Samira Bawumia, the Second Lady of Ghana, has made a passionate appeal to Ghanaians to vote massively for her husband, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
With unwavering confidence in his leadership abilities, she assured the nation that Dr. Bawumia’s presidency would bring about significant improvements.
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.”
She also highlighted the numerous social interventions initiated by the Akufo-Addo government, expressing her optimism that these projects would continue to thrive under Dr Bawumia’s leadership.
The Second Lady, who was born and raised in a Zongo, shared her personal story of how education transformed her life, emphasising the impact of the government’s free educational 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 said.
As part of her outreach, she also paid a courtesy visit to Muslim leaders at the Mosque in ‘Pipe Ano’, a suburb of Takoradi.
The NPP will launch its Manifesto on Sunday, August 18.
