Is the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia a British national? This is what we know so far
A record from the UK government’s Companies House which indicates the claim has just surfaced online. The story sparked after Sam Pee Yalley, a former ambassador of Ghana to India, alleged that the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is a British national.
The record which just surfaced showed details about the vice president when he was the director of the Ghana International Bank, a subsidiary of the Bank of Ghana in London, UK.
It indicated that the Ghana International Bank was still active in the UK, but Dr. Bawmia has resigned as the bank’s director.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s occupation was recorded as banker, and his nationality was British.
In spite of that, the spokesperson for Vice President Dr. Bawumia, Dr. Gideon Boako, has refuted claims that the vice president holds British citizenship in contradiction to the 1992 constitution.
“The attention of the Office of the Vice President has been drawn to a malicious social media allegation that the Vice President holds British citizenship while holding the office of Vice President, contrary to the laws of Ghana,”
“We wish to state in clear terms that Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia does not hold British citizenship and has never held British or any other citizenship other than being a Ghanaian. The allegation should be treated with the contempt it deserves,” Dr. Boako’s shared in a Facebook post sighted by occupygh.com.
