Samira Bawumia Jabs Mahama and NDC

 

 Iddi Muhayu-Deen Writes..

Hajia Samira, the wife of the NPP Running Mate, Alhaji Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia has yet again fired some salvos at His Excellency the President of the Republic and the NDC government over their appetite for corruption, looting of State funds, incompetence and mismanagement.

She threw these punches whilst addressing a mammoth crowd of NPP supporters at the OFFICIAL LAUNCH of the Greater Accra Regional Campaign of the party which was held this evening (Sunday, 30th October) at Tema. 

Samira Bawumia took on the Mahama government for wasting millions of the taxpayers' money on rebranding some 116 MMT buses at the expense of the suffering masses. She also expressed grave lamentations at the government's defiant attitude and insatiable notoriety for 'rebranding'. 

You misappropriated our money to rebrand buses with your images, and when we complained, you called our bluffs and vowed to do even more. You then proceeded to use our money to rebrand the whole of Ghana with your giant billboards and campaign posters. Every nook and cranny of this country has been rebranded with John Mahama's campaign billboards and NDC Parliamentary Candidates for the various Constituencies. 

Well, President Mahama wants every Ghanaian to see him everywhere, hence his decision to mount those giant billboards which are very expensive. Okay, we want to tell him that YES we see those billboards, but we also see CORRUPTION. We see those billboards, but we also see INCOMPETENCE. We see those billboards, but we also see SUFFERING. We see those billboards, but we also see MISMANAGEMENT.... Samira Bawumia added.

This is the second time in a month that the wife of Alhaji Dr. Bawumia is taking on President Mahama and the government in similar fashion for subjecting Ghanaians to the prevailing untold hardships and economic servitude. 

It would be recalled that at the launch of the NPP manifesto, Hajia Samira unleashed similar heavy punches at the government for failing to provide a basic amenity like potable water to some deprived communities compelling the residents of such communities to share the same source of water with animals like goats, sheep and cattle. 

President Mahama did not take this criticism lightly at all and recently felt compelled to reply the wife of Dr. Bawumia accusing her of being an uninformed woman who does not understand the technicalities involved in governance including the provision of social amenities like water to communities. Hajia Samaria has since replied him anyway. 

Clearly, one can authoritatively extrapolate that if the NDC and President Mahama think that Alhaji Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia is a hard nut for them to crack, then they haven't seen much yet. They obviously have another headache to contend with and that is the wife of the economic prophet of our time, Alhaji Dr Mahmoud Bawumia, in the person of Hajia Samira Bawumia.

What a family the Bawumias have been blessed with!
