The Speaker of Parliament Alban
Suman Kingsford Bagbin was sworn into office in the early hours of today who
stood on the standing orders of the house and sworn into office, the 275 MPs
Elect, thereafter proceeds to the inaugural ceremony of the President-elect
Nana Akufo-Addo and his Vice Dr Bawumia.
At the ceremonial service, the
Speaker was more or less the Master of Ceremony(MC) as he led the proceedings
to a successfully end, but as at the time of introducing the dignitaries
presents, he mistakenly introduced the Vice President’s wife as Ramatu Bawumia
instead of Samira Bawumia.
Immediate the the public started
giggling, the Speaker was on record to have said, “oh this is the name I was
given”, instantly he corrected by mentioning the right name, Samira Bawumia.
Interestingly, information
reaching this portal from Walewale in the West Mamprusi of the Northeast Region
where the Vice- President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia hails, lives a woman identified
as Ramatu Bawumia.
She is allegedly, the 1st wife
to the Vice President, a clear confirmation of what the Speaker said earlier,
which implies Bagbin never made a mistake with the name of the wife, but rather
brought to light the name of the beautiful wife of Dr Bawumia who carries her
life activities at Walewale.
She is pretty as Samira, just
that she has been kept away from the public.
I’m of the view that in as much as today happens to be a
great day for the Vice President, God in his own intelligence chooses to honour
her as well, to join the happiness, which I see not a deliberate attempt to
have disrespected the 2nd lady, but a divine intervention of honouring Madam
Ramatu in the mix of the gathering.
