Ghana’s vice-president, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has finally addressed the Ramatu Bawumia saga.

It could be recalled that Ghanaians were stunned on January 7,2021, when the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin mentioned the name of the wife of the vice-president as Ramatu Bawumia instead of Samira Bawumia during the swearing in ceremony of the President and Vice-President.

Since them, many Ghanaians have asked about the lady and the office of the Vice President has responded accordingly.

A statement released reads;

The attention of the office of the Vice-President has been drawn to stories and pictures circulating of a woman supposedly named “Ramatu” who is being claimed as the wife of the Vice-President.

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.
