Samira Bawumia is not a Ghanaian -Nii Lante Vanderpuye reveals

One of the most vociferous women during the 2016 electioneering campaign was the wife of the then Vice presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Hajia Mrs. Samira Bawumia.

She contributed greatly to the resounding victory of  NPP with the strong campaign she mounted and the confidence she gave to the female youth. So going into election 2020, her factor cannot be simply overruled.

The Member of parliament for Odododiodio Constituency and former Sports minister under Mahama’s regime, Hon. Edwin Nii Lante Vamderpuye has stated that the current second lady of the land is not a Ghanaian. He said she is from Mali and cannot be regarded as Ghanaian.

He was speaking in an interview with Accra FM monitored by Ghanashowbiz.om when he made that wild allegation. Nii Lante was speaking about using Ghana card as a primary document for the voter ID card registration.

The MP said he doesn’t see any basis in granting a foreigner like Samira Bawumia a Ghana Card which she could use to vote and some other Ghanaians are being denied.

For the records, H.E. Hajia Bawumia’s father is the current Ambassador of Ghana to United Arab Emirates and former Chairman of the People National Convention (PNC).
