Vice President Bawumia has shot down malicious attempts by some members of the National Democratic Congress to tag him with a second wife named Ramatu
In a statement released by the Spokesperson for Vice President Bawumia and copied to Wontumionline.com, it urged the public to ignore the propaganda and deliberate falsehood being peddled about the second family.
During the recent State of the Nation Address delivered by President Akufo-Addo, the NDC minority demanded to see Ramatu Bawumia after the Speaker of Parliament acknowledged dignitaries present and mentioned Samira Bawumia.
In response to the minority bench, Right Hon Bagbin said: “Honorable members, I don’t know which of you has a girlfriend called Ramatu but we don’t have any dignitary here called Ramatu”.
But the Vice President’s office has reacted to the issue noting that “Ramatu” is a figment of the imagination from people trying hard to “tarnish the image of the Vice-President for their own purposes.”
Full statement below…
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.
