Bawumia returns today
The Presidency has announced that the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu
Bawumia, is expected back in the country from his medical leave in the
United Kingdom today, Thursday, February 1.
The Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, in
an official statement said Dr. Bawumia will be met on arrival by
President Akufo-Addo and his wife.
“The Vice President of the Republic, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,
will return to Ghana from the United Kingdom, on Thursday, 1st February,
2018. This is after he took a 12-day medical leave, on the advice of
his doctors.
“He will be met on arrival by the President of the Republic, Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and the First Lady, Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo,” the
statement signed by Mr. Arhin stated.
Dr. Bawumia left Ghana for the United Kingdom two weeks ago on
medical leave after the Presidency revealed that he had fallen ill, and
undergone medical tests.
The Information Minister, Mustapha Hamid, later added that, the
decision to fly Dr. Bawumia to the UK, was to ensure that he was kept
away from visitors who may disturb his rest and recuperation period.
During his medical leave, Dr. Bawumia was pictured and captured on
video with his wife, Samira Bawumia, on the streets of London taking a
stroll.
This came at a time the Minority in Parliament was calling for full disclosure on the health status of the Vice President.
The Majority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, however,
described the Minority’s call as hypocritical and preposterous.
