HAJIA SAMIRA Bawumia, wife of the vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has taken a big shot at the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its leader, President John Dramani Mahama, describing it as a corrupt government.
She noted that Ghanaians have seen the corrupt deeds and bad governance of the president and want to change them on December 7.
According to her, the youth and well-meaning Ghanaians have taken a decision to elect an incorruptible leader like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, flag bearer of the NPP, to rescue the country from total collapse.
Mrs Samira Bawumia stressed, “We need a competent leader. We need a selfless leader. We need a visionary leader, a leader with good judgement and a leader who loves the country more than he loves his pockets.”
She 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.
“You misappropriated our money to rebrand buses with your images, and when we complained, you called our bluff 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 charged.
The wife of NPP’s vice presidential candidate was speaking at the party’s Greater Accra Regional campaign launch in Tema on Sunday.
Samira further accused the NDC of not taking a cue from the GH¢3.6 million of Ghana oil revenue for the rebranding than to continue branding the nation with tax payers’ money on party paraphernalia and giant bill boards across the length and breadth of the country.
Mrs Bawumia recalled, “NDC used millions of our monies on bus rebranding. Ghanaians wailed and advised the NDC to withdraw the contract but they didn’t heed to the advice. Currently, NDC flags and Mahama’s billboards are all over. They’ve branded every part of Ghana with Mahama’s posters.”

If rebranding of handful of busses could cost as much as GHC 3.6 million ( old cedis 36 billion equivalent to USD 1,000,000 ) then you can imagine how much it has cost the tax payer for the millions of expensive bill boards and flags imported from China not to talk of T-shirts and other paraphenelia. Ghana is on the crossroad: every time you see or hear of Mahama, think of murder. Corrupt persons are akin to murderers.
A party is different from a nation. We all contributed to the building of the party,we have a treasurer who hasn't complained of any mismanagement of our finances so if ndc moles planted in our party do the bidding of their ndc pay masters who cares? John mahama is using the state resources meant to develope the people in building u necessary bill boards and mismanaging it so not what you so called Boat thinks is what will happen. The next government will set up an independence prosecutor to look into every part of government business and if found money gone into wrong hands then you will smell pepper. Tell your government to set up a committee to investigate that finance in the NPP if that is his business? ***barred word*** and incompetent lot. I love that powerful speech by our next 2nd lady of the republic,she is pretty with beautiful brains,I wish she could debate with Mrs Amissah Arthur and Mrs Rebecca Naa Okaikor Akufo Addo also debate with Lordina Mahama and see who can give good advise to their husbands.It is important we know the level of brains of our 1st and 2nd ladies because behind every successful man there is a woman.Hajia Samira Bawumiah is Mrs Michele Obama of Ghana and can be Mrs Hillary Clinton of Ghana some time. Beautiful and brilliant lady.NPP PEOPLE OF SUBSTANCE Y3 wo adzi oye.
I will only believe this assertion about Nana, if he is able to investigate the party finances. He will not because he was a beneficiary. The National Officers who were suspended complained about poor financial dealings at the party's HQ hence their suspension. So no one should paint Nana with bright colour because his dark past dealing are to thick for a brighter colour to change anything. 'Opana' is violent (All Die Be Die), divisive (current state of NPP attests), full of tension (Kufuor) plus many of the guys who have hounded from the party to those who have suffered physically.
