Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has denied the news suggesting that he has a wife called Ramatu Bawumia.
According to Bawumia, the news circulating that he has another wife aside Samira Bawumia is false.
He asked the public to disregard the fabricated story as the supposed Ramatu is ‘a figment of the imagination of people trying to tarnish the image of the Vice President for their own purposes’.
Ramatu Bawumia, the alleged abandoned first wife of the Veep is reported to be a trader in WaleWale, a town which lies on the main road from Bolgatanga to Tamale in the North East Region of the country.
Until recently, Samira Bawumia, well educated woman was widely acknowledged as the wife of the Ghana’s Vice President.
Ramatu’s name appeared in public for the first time during the second term swearing- in of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Parliament House.
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin while acknowledging the dignitaries present at the ceremony addressed the wife of the Vice President as Ramatu Bawumia.
The Speaker later corrected the error and duly mentioned Samira Bawumia as the wife of Dr Bawumia. He however explained that the name presented to him read Ramatu.
