A member of the National Council of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Mrs. Janet Anane, has observed that victory for the party in the December 7 elections, would revive the Offices of the First and Second Lady to play a lead role of women development and empowerment.
According to her, the offices of the respective ladies are currently in a mess, stressing that both Mrs. Lordina Mahama and Mrs. Amissah Arthur have failed to live up to expectations in making their positions very significant to the public like it used to be under Mrs. Rawlings and Mrs. Theresa Kufuor.
"Mrs. Rebecca Akufo Addo and Samira Bawumia are coming to clean the mess of Lordina and Mrs. Amissah Arthur and bring dignity and respect to the offices of the First and Second Lady," she said.
Speaking to identifiable women groups championing the cause of the NPP in Kumasi, Mrs. Anane, who is a financier of the party observed that the offices of the first and second lady goes beyond engaging in donations and accompanying husbands to public occasions; but must be seen as an avenue to champion the cause of women and other vulnerable groups in the society.
"At the moment both offices are dull and dormant but let the NPP win this year's elections and see how we shall revive those offices and make them effective again" she said, adding that both Mrs. Rebecca and Samira are women with competence who will revive and reinvigorate the position.
She further observed that unlike Mrs. Lordina Mahama who has turned her office into a campaign machinery, sharing cash and items with objective of winning votes, an NPP regime will strengthen the office and introduce a paradigm shift in the way both first and second ladies perform their roles.

Replacing the current affable first lady with retired prost*tut*s as first and second ladies will be disaster. We know better!
Who does not know Rebecca Akuffo Addo and Samira Bawumia in Accra? We beg ooo. If you want us to vote for npp don't use this aangle.
I know little about the first lady but finding out what both (First and Second Ladies) are doing would be useful instead of blanket statements which may not be based on evidence or facts. Visibility does not always translate to action. We also have to know that people have different personalities and they may engage people in other ways other than we expect. It is the beauty of accepting diversity in this context. If all these four women contribute to national development meaningfully then the end product or outcome is positive and we need to encourage all of them.

Madam Theresa had the Mother and Child foundation which engaged in social, cultural, educational and economic development of vulnerable and disadvantaged mothers and their children in Ghana. GO FIGURE!
What did Theresa Kufuor do during her time as first lady? She has been the most silent first lady ever.
