Hajia Mariama passed on last Monday, and Ghanaians have been sending messages of comfort to the Vice President and his family. The latest group to express their commiserations is the cured lepers, who have a special relationship with Dr Bawumia and his family. "The cured lepers in Ghana express condolences to Vice President Bawumia as he mourns the late mother," their message read. "May Allah take our mother to heaven and bless the Vice President and his family." Apart from the support, the Vice President and his family often invite lepers and cured lepers to their homes for parties during festive occasions.
