The wife of the Vice-President, Mrs Samira Bawumia, has asked Ghanaians to retain the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in power in the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections to continue initiating and implementing good policies for the citizenry.
She said the Akufo-Addo-Bawumai-led administration has introduced a lot of social interventions to improve upon the standards of living of Ghanaians.
Mrs Bawumia was addressing NPP faithful and sympathisers at the first National Women's Conference at the Jubilee Park in Takoradi.
The two-day conference sought, among others things, to bring women executive in all the constituencies in Ghana together to foster unity and cohesion and to form a formidable front and explain government's programmes and policies to Ghanaians as part of efforts towards victory 2020.
The well-attended conference was on the theme "NPP women on the move for victory 2020 and beyond."
Mrs Bawumia earlier conveyed the gratitude and felicitations of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to all women in the party for their strategic posture which helped to capture power in December 2016.
She said the government would continue to initiate prudent policies such as the Free Senior High School, Planting for Food and Jobs and the Nation Builders' Corp programmes, to reduce poverty and empower Ghanaians.
Mrs Bawumia, therefore, charged women in higher offices in the party and government, to discharge their mandate creditably.
A veteran journalist and former Editor of the Daily Graphic, Ms Elizabeth Ohene, advised women occupying high offices in the party to assist the ministers, members of parliament and Metropolitan Municipal and District Chief Executives to work harder to retain power in the 2020 general election.
She was thankful to the top hierarchy of the party for recognising the role of women by appointing a number of them to serve in diverse topmost positions in the party and government.

I WONDERED WHEN THE MOTION TO ELECT MMDCEs WAS WITHDRAWN TOGETHER WITH THE REFERENDUM FOR POLITICAL PARTIES TO BE INVOLVED IN THE LOCAL LEVEL ELECTIONS. THE TWO ISSUES ARE NOT THE SAME. ONE CAN BE DONE WITHOUT THE OTHER. WHAT THEN IS THE WISDOM TO ABORT THE TWO? UPON DEEP REFLECTION I HAVE NOW COME TO UNDERSTAND THE PRESIDENT. THOUGH THE TWO PROVISIONS ARE NOT THE SAME AND ONE DOES NOT NEED TO DEPEND ON THE OTHER, LIKE THE REFERENDUM, THE NPP GOVERNMENT STILL NEED NDC MPs TO SUPPORT THE MOTION FOR THE AMENDMENT. THE DECEPTION OF NDC TO ATTACK AND DESTROY THE TARGET OF THE REFERENDUM MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO BE TRUSTED TO SUPPORT THE MOTION FOR MMDCEs ELECTIONS. THE GOVERNMENT CAN NO LONGER RELY ON NDC TO SUPPORT THE MOTION FOR THE AMENDMENT TO ELECT THE MMDEs. THE SABOTAGE OF THE REFERENDUM REVEALS MUCH ABOUT NDC. THEY CARE LITTLE FOR TRUE DEMOCRACY. THE BETRAYAL CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THAT NDC DID NOT EVEN LIKE THE CREATION OF SIX NEW REGIONS. THEY PRETENDED TO SUPPORT IT JUST FOR POLITICAL CONVENIENCE. THEY COULD NOT OPENLY OBJECT TO THE NEW REGIONS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RESIST THE EXCITEMENT OF THE PEOPLE TO GET THEIR REGIONS. IF GHANAIANS TRULY WANT TO ELECT THEIR MMDCES THEN THEY SHOULD VOTE NDC OUT OF PARLIAMENT IN 2020. BY THE CONSTITUTION WE NEED MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY OF PARLIAMENT TO PASS THE MOTION FOR MMDCEs ELECTION. GNANIANS IN 2020 ELECTIONS SHOULD VOTE TO ELECT MORE NPP MPs IN 2020 SO THAT THEY CAN GET THE NEEDED OVERWHELMING MAJORITY TO PASS SUCH AMENDMENT WITHOUT RELYING ON NDC SUPPORT. NDC CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED. THEY DO POLITICS WITH EVERYTHING WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE NATION. YES WE NEED THEM IN PARLIAMENT TO MAKE THE USUAL NOISEEEE BUT WE MUST KEEP THEIR NUMBER LOW TO KEEP THE NATION MOVING FORWARD.
MRS. BAWUMIA, UPON COLLAPSING MENZGOLD AND OTHER BANKS, YOU WANTED YOUR HUSBAND AND NPP TO STAY IN POWER? NPP WILL SURELY BE VOTED OUT FOR BEEN WICKED ON MENZGOLD CUSTOMERS AND OTHER BANKS THAT ARE COLLAPSES UNDER NPP. WE THE FLOATING VOTERS TOOK OUR MIND ALREADY COME 2020 WE DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS WICKED GOVERNMENT BEFORE IN GHANA.
PLS MRS BAWUMIA KINDLY TELL US WHY GHANAIAN SHOULD RETAIN NPP AND YR LIAR HUSBAND THAT ACCORDING TO GHANAIAN YR HUSBAND HAS NO CREDIBILITY. NB! THAT GHANAIAN CAN ONLY RETAIN NPP IF MENZGOLD CUSTOMERS ARE PAID AND BACK TO BUSINESS. ALSO ALL BANKS AND MICRO COMPANIES ARE GIVEN BACK THEIR LICENCES.

GHANAIANS HAVE ALREADY RETAINED NPP, MADAM SLEEP.
SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE HAVING THOSE FREE MAKEUPS AND FINE FINE LOOKS HAHAA MY LADY GHANAIANS WONT EAT THAT WAI.Y3NI ABER3 WAI
IT IS NOT ABOUT YOUR BEAUTY THAT GHANAIANS ARE LOOKING FOR OR THE ECONOMIC LOGICAL SEMANTICS FROM YOUR HUSBAND THAT GHANAIANS ARE LOOKING FOR EITHER. BUT HOW TO SUSTAIN THEIR FAMILIES IN A MORE DIGNFIED MANNER. VOTING FOR THE NPP AGAIN IS LIKE THERE IS NO ALTERNASTIVE TO SUFFERING IN GHANA.
