Three people are in critical condition and seven others have sustained various degrees of injuries after the convoy of Second Lady, Mrs. Samira Bawumia, was involved in an accident at Ofoase Kokoben near Anwiankwanta in the Bekwai Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
The incident which is reported to have occurred in the late hours of Monday, November 23, 2020, involved one car in the convoy with registration number GN 4096 -20 and a Toyota Hillux pick-up with registration number AS 4247-17.
Reports indicate that, the pick-up truck tried to join the main road but missed the last car in the Second Lady’s convoy.
The pick-up truck which was occupied by two Roman Fathers, was from an event at Anwiankwanta and was joining the main road when it crashed into the convoy heading towards Kumasi.
However, the Second Lady’s car had already passed the spot where the accident took place.
The last car in the convoy was said to have been carrying ten persons in it at the time of the crash. Nine of the persons involved in the accident were transferred to the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi. Three of these people are said to be in critical condition and the last victim, a Roman Father is currently on admission at the Abenkyiman Hospital at Anwiankwanta. While others who did sustain major injuries have been treated and discharged.
Conversely, the Second Lady is in the Ashanti Region on a campaign tour to canvass votes ahead of the December 7 polls.
The Second Lady has been on several campaign tours to gather votes for the New Patriotic Party. She is calling on the people of Ghana to maintain the Akufo Addo led administration, as the administration has progressed to protect and also implement more developmental projects.
In her last tour in the Northern region, she noted that, Ghana will go down in shambles if it is led by an NDC administration. Mrs. Bawumia said, with the four years Ghanaians gave the Nana Addo led administration, the citizenry can attest to improvements the country has seen hence, is asking the people of the Northern Region to give President Akufo Addo and the NPP for more years to do more.
“Are we happy with the development we are seeing all over the Northern Region? Are we happy to give Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo four more to do more…? The policies of the New Patriotic Party are about developing the future of this country. Ask yourself, are you better off under an NDC administration or under an NPP administration. That is what you have to ask yourself as you vote come December 7.”
