But for Education, where will a ‘Fulani, Zongo’ lady like me be? – Samira defends Akufo-Addo’s Free SHS

Wife of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Hajia Samira Bawumia has put up a strong defense for President Akufo-Addo’s free SHS policy, wondering where she herself would have been without the benefit of an education, MyNewsGH.com has filed.

Referencing her ‘Fulani and Zongo’ background, she told the men and women of Wenchi to take advantage of President Akufo-Addo’s Free SHS programme and make sure their children are prepared for the future.

The second lady made the statement in an address when she paid a working visit to Wenchi Zango Chiefs.

“I am happy to be here. It is Zongo I come from. I am a Fulani but I was born in Zongo. So when I look here it is my people and when I look there it is my people. If not for education, me, I won’t be standing here today. It is not because I was more intelligent than my contemporaries, it is rather the opportunities education gave me.” She said as she switched from Twi to Hausa trying to explain to the women of Wenchi how they can benefit from Akufo-Addo’s flagship education package.

She urged the parents to take advantage of Akufo-Addo’s free SHS program and ensure their children get full education because there is space for them at the top too irrespective of where they come from.

Mrs Bawumia said gradually, the full impact of Akufo-Addo’s government will reach everyone.

“As for the work we are doing a lot, and we are reducing poverty. Small, small it will reach everybody. The work we are doing, we don’t want only Accra people to get the benefits. That’s why we brought free education so that everybody will get a share of Ghana’s resources” she explained.

“We in the NPP have said we will not wait for election to come before we come to greet you again. Because you sent us to go and work for you. 2016 we came to you in the campaign and told you of our vision that all of us our leader who became president by God’s grace and your support His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo will deliver. You agreed and you helped us, prayed for us and voted for us and we won. We thank you. After leaving, we went to work. It has become necessary to come back and tell you what we have done so far so that you can be updated.

She added further:

“But before I update you, I want you to hear this: we want to build a storey building and gave it to a contractor to build foundation and ground floor. He’s done and we saw that he built it anyhow so we are bringing a new guy to build. The new guy realized that the old building was weak. If he is a good person, he will restart the foundation and the first floor because he knows that if he simply comes to continue on that weak foundation, the structure will collapse one day. So president Akufo-Addo is doing what will benefit us today and our children’s children will also benefit”

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
