Ghanaian media personality Afia Pokua famed as Vim Lady has warned Second Lady Samira Bawumia regarding her style of dressing during political campaigns.
In a video shared by One Ghana TV on their YouTube channel, Vim Lady advised Samira Bawumia to maintain consistency in her Muslim attire to avoid any potential negative impact on her husband’s political campaign.
Vim Lady highlighted that during past campaign periods, particularly in the 2012 and 2016 elections, Samira Bawumia was often seen wearing a hijab, a traditional Muslim headscarf.
This attire was part of her public persona and helped to establish her identity as a Muslim. However, Vim Lady pointed out that after the elections, Samira was frequently seen without the hijab, which raised questions about her true identity and commitment.
According to Vim Lady, this inconsistency could pose a problem, especially with the upcoming 2024 general elections. She warned that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is using this issue as a point of criticism against the Bawumia campaign.
She said, “Since 2012 and 2016, Samira wears a hijab during every campaign period but abandons it after the elections. You have to be very careful. When that perception sinks into conservative Islam, you may find yourself in trouble. So far, Bawumia is doing well with Muslims.”
Vim Lady emphasized the importance of being consistent with one’s style of dressing, especially given that Bawumia is now a flagbearer.
She suggested that if Samira Bawumia wants to portray a liberal Islamic image, she should be consistent in her attire to avoid giving the impression of being insincere.
