The Second Lady of Ghana, Samira Bawumia, has called on Ghanaians to support her husband, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, in the upcoming general elections.
In her address, she emphasized Dr. Bawumia’s integrity, intelligence, and problem-solving skills, describing these qualities as essential for tackling the nation’s current challenges and fulfilling the aspirations of the youth.
Speaking at a book launch organized by her “Samira Bawumia Literacy Prize” initiative on Monday in Accra, the Second Lady praised Dr. Bawumia as a leader who faces challenges with innovative solutions and a strong sense of responsibility.
“He has solutions to our problems. Dr. Bawumia is a very intelligent man. He is an honest man. He works very hard and applies himself, and this is a man bursting with ideas and doesn’t always do the same things and expects different results.
“Bawumia is always thinking outside the box and I think that is the kind of leadership we need as young people. We need somebody who will leapfrog Ghana’s development. We need somebody who can look beyond where we are at and say, ‘Look, we can do better and we can do it in a faster way to get to where we are going,’” Mrs. Bawumia said.
She further underscored what she terms “the transformative impact” of Dr Bawumia’s digitalisation agenda, highlighting its role in reducing corruption and laying the groundwork for economic growth.
