The head of the Political Communications Department of the University of Cape Coast, Dr Eric Opoku Mensah, has heaped praises on the wife of New Patriotic Party (NPP) vice-presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, for her role in the campaign of the party ahead of polls in December.
According to Dr Mensah, it would not be far-fetched to refer to Mrs Samira Bawumia as Ghana’s version of Michelle Obama, wife of the president of the United States of America.
Mrs Bawumia has been touring the country preaching the message of change to the electorate.
In his assessment of Mrs Bawumia’s role in the NPP campaign, Dr Mensah told Class News’ Naa Deedei Tettey on Thursday October 27 that she had developed into a great asset for the NPP and had the ability to make political gains for her party and its candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“So far as the NPP’s campaign is concerned, I think that she’s been quite articulate, and if you want to say Ghana’s version of Michelle Obama, you might be right to some extent. She has grown over the period. Her husband, Dr Bawumia, has grown tremendously in terms of his stature and he’s come along with wife Samira. I think she brings a lot of credibility to Nana Akufo-Addo’s ticket, particularly being a Muslim woman. I think that she has a great potential of connecting with the teeming masses, especially in the Zongos,” he stated.
“She has the potential of easily connecting with the ordinary people because they look up to her as one of their own. She comes from the north and secondly she is a Muslim, and I think that if she continues this way, she brings a lot of political capital to the NPP and I think it will only be to the advantage of the NPP.”
He continued: “This is something I haven’t seen on the other side, particularly in the NDC, and it adds a lot to the ticket of Nana Akufo-Addo. …She has age on her side, she is young, she is energetic, and this is the time she can do a lot more and I’m not surprised at what she is doing. …This is not a competition between her and Nana Akufo-Addo’s wife, but she is young and she has all the zeal and energy. When you look at the other side, sometimes, you will find the First Lady going on her own trips, but most at times what is visible to me is not more of her oratory [skills] but sharing [of] gifts, but Samira has really shown the difference by her ability to articulate clearly her message.”

Where did this so called Dr., buy his degree from? It is an abomination to equate Michelle Obama to Mrs. Bawumia! Michelle is an accomplished first lady. They have at least won election on two terms. What have Bawumia and his wife achieved? They could not even win election for their party in their own home region and you equate her to Michelle. I am really sick in my stomach! No wonder Ghana education system is on downward spiral because this guy is a lecturer.

BUT THIS CREATURE,, A HUNDRED AND TWENTY PERCENT ARTIFICIAL FROM TOP TO BOTTOM,,,, JUST LIKE A UFO ALIEN THAT DROPPED OUT FROM OUTER SPACE TO KICK SOME AR.SE. WHOEVER MADE THIS STORY OWED THE OBAMA'S AN UNQUALIFIED APOLOGIES SO AS NOT TO ATTRACT THE WRATH OF UNCLE BEN.
Who doesn't know that Bawumia has a beautiful wife.
She looks and sound wonderful at Aba. Jealousy will kill you.
How does she look without make up and head gear?
Hey npp media. Michele Obama my foot. Ask her what she was doing before she married barwumia. A lot of guys enjoyed her vayayay here in the north. I understand she is doing politics, but she needs to talk about issues and stop attacking the president, because she has so many cobwebs that if we are saying in public, it would hurt her.
