The attention of the office of the Vice-President has been drawn to stories and pictures circulating of a woman supposedly named “Ramatu” who is being claimed as a wife of the Vice-President.
The office of the Vice-President wishes to inform the general public that the Vice-President, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has never met or seen this purported Ramatu let alone take her as a wife. She is a figment of the imagination of people trying hard to tarnish the image of the Vice-President for their own purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Vice- President has only one wife, his dear Samira Bawumia and they have been married for 17 years even though his religion permits him to marry up to four wives.
We ask the public to ignore the propaganda and deliberate falsehood.
—Signed—
Gideon Boako, Ph.D
Spokesperson to the Vice President

Mr Bagbin has a lot of work to do to tame the wild irresponsible hooligans. NDC as a political party had entirely lost focus. Theirs is bullying their way into politics to gain political power so as to loot and share. Ghanaians are fed up with that kind of kleptocracy which NDC per its previous administration, aside that of President Mills, had offered Ghanaians Governance duped with rampant greed and corruption. Competence is alien in their quest of delivering on their political mandate whenever they undesrvedly get the opportunity. Look at them as members of Parliament in the house of the Parliament, their insolent demeanor, rudely displayed to hooting at the respected wife of the Vice President was an eyesore and a political hazard. Dr. Owusu Afriyie-Akoto, is a good example of a politician who has the subjective academic qualifications and competent accomplishments which could go a long way to benefit the NDC politicians if they do seek in good faith to emmulate. And the NPP has a lot of competent politicians, Joe wise is obviously one of them. Ghana is doing fairly well in growing her democracy and any democratic institution which fails to recognize and respect this positive development will fail bitterly as lacking the competence to progress with mother Ghana. The present constellation in the Parliament in terms of the numbers of the representatives seems to the NDC, as it were, as a God-given tool to run the NPP down by all means. Thus, NDC lacks the competence to make a genuine and informed democratic use of it, that indeed, it has the ability to present better alternative solutions.
