My husband has the solutions to Ghana’s problems – Samira Bawumia rallies Ghanaians

Ghana's Second Lady, Samira Bawumia, has urged voters to elect Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as the country's next president ahead of the December 7 elections. According to her, Dr Bawumia is an honest person and the ideal candidate to address current challenges.

“He has solutions to our problems. Dr Bawumia is a very intelligent man. He's an honest man. He works very hard and applies himself. This is a man bursting with ideas. He doesn't do the same thing and expect different results. Bawumia is always thinking outside the box,” she said.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of a book launch by the Samira Bawumia Literacy Prize initiative on Monday November 18, in Accra, the Second Lady highlighted the importance of electing a president who can advance Ghana’s development. She emphasised: “For us young people, that is the kind of leadership we need. We need somebody who will leapfrog Ghana's development. We need somebody who can look beyond where we are and say, we can do better, and we can do it faster to get to where we're going.”

As part of modernising the economy in line with emerging global trends, Samira Bawumia praised the digitalisation drive as a key solution. “With his digitalisation drive, we're now in a position where the economy is expanding beyond where it would have been. Thanks to these digital platforms, we are creating efficiency and eliminating corruption. We still have a long way to go as a country, but we need the right kind of leader to help us get there quickly. And I think Baumia is the man for that,” she stated.

The Second Lady’s remarks follow former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s endorsement of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as Ghana’s next president. According to Kufuor, Dr Bawumia is the most experienced candidate to address the country’s current economic hardships.
