Nana Boadi Amponim Abodade III, the Krontihene of Akyem Asuom, has insinuated that the person most disturbed by the New Patriotic Party’s defeat in the 2024 elections is the Second Lady, Samira Bawumia.

Samira Bawumia is also the wife of the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and would have become First Lady had her husband won the election.

According to the Akyem Asuom Krontihene, Samira Bawumia was desperate to become Ghana’s First Lady, as evidenced by her active role in her husband’s campaign.

He noted that the second lady was eager to redefine the role of the First Lady with her signature impeccable style and charisma.

However, her husband’s failure to clinch the title devastated her.

Nana Boadi Amponim Abodade III stated that Samira Bawumia’s desire for the First Lady position may have largely been due to her role in the outgoing presidency.

He said that while Rebecca Akufo-Addo, the incumbent First Lady, had taken a rather relaxed approach to her position, Samira Bawumia was thrust into the limelight and had to play a more active role both as Second Lady and in her husband's and the party's political ventures.

On the lighter side, Nana Boadi stated that Samira Bawumia’s fashion taste as First Lady would have caused so much envy among Ghanaian women if the NPP won.

“She will slay aaah Ghanaian ladies all go bore die,” he said.
