Samira Bawumia hits back at critics.<\/p>\n

Wife\u00a0of Ghana’s Vice-President, Samira Bawumia says that social media critics don’t bother her. Furthermore, this was on her choice of clothing.<\/p>\n

She made these statements in an interview with Citi FM.<\/p>\n

Samira Bawumia says she prefers to be judged on what impact she makes with the position she occupies than what she wears.<\/h4>\n

\u201cI wish it wouldn\u2019t be the preoccupation\u2026because I do a lot of work that I will rather highlight. I mean if a woman is dressing well there shouldn\u2019t be anything wrong with that. I think we should own our beauty and also make a difference.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Moreover, she stated that her wardrobe choice promoted the business of those who make them. Therefore, that is something that excites her.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I wear clothes and those who made it for me, their business booms and I\u2019m happy for them because I\u2019m also promoting their industry.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, the 2nd Lady said comments don’t bother her. However, when it becomes spiteful then it’s a problem. Also, she added that she is more concerned about what her close circle has to say about what she is wearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worry slightly about how sometimes the discourse goes because this politics turns to be sometimes a bit vicious. I don\u2019t mind for my own personal saying because if someone I don\u2019t know has an opinion about me [that\u2019s] 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
