Wife of Ghana's Vice-President, Samira Bawumia says she is least perturbed about social media critics on her choice of clothing.
Rather, she says people should be more concerned about how she is using her position to impact the lives of others.
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 some people who feel her choice of clothing do not reflect her religious leanings as a Muslim and her position as wife of the Vice President.
But in 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.
“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.
She also noted that her choice of wardrobe is also promoting the business for those who make them and that is something that excites her.
“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.”
Nonetheless, she says, such comments only become a bother when they tend to spite her.
“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 said.

I thought your works will speak for you not you shouting over rooftops about what you are or are not doing. we live to see.
Madam don't mind them. Please focus on what you are doing and leave these NDC people. Just one and a half years and you have touched alot of lives. We saw how some people performed when they were in power. Some even neglected associations they belonged to and only started looking for them when it was getting to election. Don't let them discourage you to continue doing what you can do for your nation.
what is wrong with a woman dressing well. I doubt if anyone can say the second lady is indecent. We should rather be happy and proud that the second lady is so presentable and yet decent and serious with her work. This envy and ***barred word***. talk has to stop. We are a people and we should celebrate our own. The fact that someone in power dresses well doesn't mean they loot the state. For a person of her caliber, a serious business-minded entrepreneur will give her clothing for free to boost their business. Think about that!
They envy you. Beauty with brains . You r not like madam hippo and madam chalk
All records show that Samira is better than Mrs. Amissah (Aka. Madam Chalk) and Lordina (Aka Billboard and V8). Samira is doing some great works with Rebecca. Kudos to you guys..we are solidly behind you. Don't mind the NDC naysayers, they wished you wear Asiedu Nketiah's type of coat. I'll even start supplying you more stuffs to dazzle them.. #WebHunter
She is always posting videos and pictures of herself hosting seminars, giving to the needy, helping poor women and even working with prisoners and so on. She also has her Samira Empowerment and Humanitarian Projects. Of course I don't expect misbegotten, half-witted, underachieving, uselessly unwanted NDC cretins like all the ***barred word*** who have commented above to acknowledge that.

Madam Incompetence Ghana fo abre o. We cannot see your work o. We can only remember your incompetence speech.
