Samira Bawumia has denied ever calling President John Mahama names.
The wife of the main opposition New Patriotic Party’s vice-presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, told Joy FM that her comments on a campaign platform about the current administration being incompetent were deliberately “misrepresented” for propaganda purposes.
"We are saying to the NDC that we see you alright. ... You want us to see you, we see you, but we see incompetence, we see you, but we see corruption, we see you, but we see bad management, we see you, but we see bad governance, we see you, but we want change, we see you but we want Ghana to move forward," she told supporters at Akojo Park in Tema recently.
Clarifying her comments, she said: “I spoke on a platform. Everybody heard what I have said. It was live telecast and the sound bites are there. There was deliberate attempt to misrepresent what I said and they said that I had called the president a certain word, based on that people were attacking me—based on a false allegation.”
“It is not so much what I actually said. It is the misrepresentation that people have attached. So, they have not bothered to ascertain the truth of what I have said,” Mrs Bawumia said.
Mrs Bawumia’s “misrepresented” comments attracted the ire of Ghana’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Alhaji Saeed Sinare, who said: “If this girl with a mouth like that of crocodile should be offered to me for free to marry, I swear to God I would add the dowry to her and throw her back to her parents.”

I feel very sad for this muslim woman who had copy the akan/npp behavior of insulting elders.This is foreign in islamic practise hence her back tracking
are you now scared? be the "woman" that you are and mount any platform and spew gabbage, we will tell the world what you did on GIMPA campus, we will expose what you did with 1957. ... bring it on
Where in her speech did she insulted President Mahama. If someone is not competent in doing something and you tell him is it an insult? If president Mahama is competent why did he ran to IMF?. Why has fertilizer subsidy that was helping farmers collapsed and cocoa production dwindling, Why teacher training and nursing training allowance removed, and now claiming he will restore? If someone tells President mahama he is corrupt judging from cases involving SADA, Wayome, Agambira, GEEDA and inflated project cost, is it an insult? Lets assume Bawumia is lying, where is your own version of the truth? Come and tell us the truth. The facts on the ground; unemployment, high school fees, high utility bills, Dzifa Ativor's comment and the court ruling on Wayome case tell we the ordinary people that Bawumia is not lying. We shall meet on December 7th. inflated project cost etc is it an insult?
Alhaji Saeed Sinare, is not the type of man for Samira. He can't marry a woman like her. Because he is criminal.
u all who r talking trash abt Samira shd rethink cos i dnt kw whether u smoked weed b4 sending ur comments here, do u reason at all, ***barred word***. Alhaji Sinare look at ur face n who will even offer his/her daughter lyk Samira 2 a dracula lyk u if not cos of money......u ndc folks thinks u can spit ***barred word*** at ur own convenience ignoramuses its ur mothers n fathers who r bastards, ***barred word***!!!!!!
SAMIRA, DON'T LIE. ALLAH IS THE MOST FORGIVING. ARE YOU AFRAID NOW? SURELY YOU KNOW TRUE MUSLIM WILL NEVER DISRESPECT ANY ELDER. TAKE A CUE FROM THE CHIEF IMAM. MAY ALLAH PROTECT HIM FOR US.
I taught Muslims are suppose to be truthful. They are habitually respectful but this woman and her husband are a bit different. Is it because of their thirst for power? I beg for answers
She can criticize JDM, that is her right. But dont get up there and throw lairs around. Her tone and voice says a lot. You and your husband will never get to be the second couple of Ghana with your lairs and deceit
Kojo it's all because ndc are full of themselves and they lack self esteem. Anyone who doesn't believe in his elf or herself always look for respect somewhere and when they don't get it they get angry and offended and thats what ndc is about. If you are born on a hill it's easy for you to be tall. Those born by brave men fear no foe and people from affluent homes don't need respect,because they are respected already but those from poor and dishonorable homes always look for respect when they get the chance to be in big positions. Respect is earned not bought or forced.
