Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia shared pictures of his mother, Mariama Bawumia, his wife and Second Lady, Samira Bawumia, with thoughtful words to celebrate them.
''Happy Mother's Day to my amazing mum, Hajia Mariama Bawumia; my lovely wife, Hajia Samira Bawumia and all mothers in Ghana.
I celebrate you on this day and appreciate your continuous support, unconditional love, care and inspiration that propel my growth in life. May God bless all mothers ❤️,'' he posted on Facebook.
First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo writes: ''I am who I am because of mama” is a common sentiment among Ghanaian children.
And they are right: the stories that follow are stories of bold sacrifices and pain; of mysterious love and investments.
I believe celebrating mothers would never go out of date. After all, there is a constant need for their bountiful supply of prayers, even in one’s old age.
A mother’s love, A mother’s prayer, A Mother’s faith, A mother’s Counsel, a mother’s touch.
As I reflect on these, one message is clear: We love them, because they first, loved us.
Angels in the shape of mothers - May we continue to thank them, may we continue to love and adore them, may we be like them. Happy Mothers’ Day!❤️
Former First Lady Lordina Mahama urged people to ''celebrate and honour our cherished mothers.''
''It is another opportunity to celebrate and honour our cherished mothers.
I celebrate the hardworking and selfless Matrons and Staff of orphanages across the country. They have dedicated their lives to nurturing and caring for the young ones in their care.
Let me also appreciate the female frontline workers who have fearlessly been at the forefront of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
I must also celebrate all single mothers, single fathers and guardians performing the role of mothers. Continue your good works and know that your hard work will never go unrewarded.
God bless you all. Happy Mothers Day! Lordina Dramani Mahama. Former First Lady & President, Lordina Foundation,'' she posted.
The current Second Lady and wife of Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia simply wrote: ''Happy Mothers' Day to all our amazing women out there.''
