The wife of Ghana’s Vice President, Samira Bawumia lashed out on social media critics saying they should be more concerned about how she is using her position to impact the lives of others rather than her choice of clothes.
Mrs Bawumia since the inauguration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on January 7, 2016, has been an attraction at many public events with her fashion.
She has been criticised by individuals who feel her choice of clothing do not reflect her religious leanings as a Muslim and her position as the wife of the Vice President.
During an interview on Accra-based Citi FM Wednesday, Mrs Bawumia noted that instead of paying attention to her wardrobe; she wished that people would rather focus on her work.
She said
“I wish it wouldn’t be the preoccupation…because I’m doing a lot of work that I will rather highlight. I mean if a woman is dressing well there shouldn’t be anything wrong with that. I think we should own our beauty and also make a difference,” she said.
“Sometimes I wear clothes and those who made it for me, their business booms and I’m happy for them because I’m also promoting their industry.”
“I worry slightly about how sometimes the discourse goes because this politics turns to be sometimes a little vicious. I don’t mind for my own personal saying because if someone I don’t know has an opinion about me [that’s] tough; but I worry about the people I know and how they feel about my interaction with them and for the most time I get a positive response”. She added.
We clearly don’t see anything wrong with her styles and sense of fashion.

Hypocrites they all are. So she should wear rags and cover her head in some funny black cloth because she is a Moslem? Opposite people. They cannot even swallow their bile and appreciate a dazzling epitome of elegance and humbleness. Didn’t know Ghana has backward fundamentalists like Nigeria.
