She said the party selected her husband for his integrity, humility, hard work, and proven track record, and thus, Ghanaians should support his candidacy to serve the nation.

She strongly believed that her husband could transform the nation for the better.

Samira Bawumia also noted that Dr Bawumia's selection to lead the NPP debunked the misconception that the party was an Akan-only party.

She stressed that the NPP was equally concerned about the development and welfare of Muslim communities and thus urged electorates, particularly those within the Zongo communities, to vote for her husband to continue the NPP’s various projects in their communities.

Samira Bawumia assured the electorates that during her husband’s presidency, he would ensure that jobs and more opportunities would be created for women and young people, particularly to tackle the country's unemployment rates and empower women.

Samira Bawumia touts her husband’s exceptional skills

Samira Bawumia said her husband has exceptional leadership qualities that will help him develop Ghana; hence, she is calling for massive votes for him.

She said this at a gathering of NPP supporters at Effiakuma Zongo, also known as VIP, in Takoradi, ahead of the party's manifesto launch.

“Ghana’s future will be better if Dr Mahamudu Bawumia becomes president,” she said.

She named the many social interventions initiated by President Akufo-Addo during his almost eight years in office.

Samira added that these social interventions will continue under a Bawumia-led government.

For instance, she said the free SHS needs to continue so more children can access education.

Samira added that she was born and bred in a Zongo community, and education has brought her this far. She used her story to emphasise the importance of the free SHS.
