Former Vice President and 2024 NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has hit back at suggestions by some party figures that his wife, Samira Bawumia, is not a "true Ghanaian." Addressing the NPP New York 33rd Anniversary on Sunday, August 24, he dismissed such claims as desperate propaganda aimed at discrediting him. "When Samira was campaigning the length and breadth of Ghana for the party, they did not say she was not a true Ghanaian.
So what has changed now?
Why now?" he asked.
He described the attack, reportedly made by a senior party figure aligned with one of his rivals, as "unbelievable" and "dangerous." Dr Bawumia praised the immense contributions of his wife to the party, noting that she had worked tirelessly to mobilise support across the country both in government and in opposition.
