Bawumia thrills cat On TV

A BIZARRE picture of a cat watching Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on television being cross-examined at the Supreme Court is spreading like wild fire in Kumasi.

The picture shows the back of a light brown cat seated in a composed manner on the ground in a room attentively watching the television.

The cat is seen seriously watching Dr. Bawumia who is flipping through some documents at the Supreme Court on television.

Already, people with superstitious belief in the city have started giving spiritual meanings to the picture.

According to them, the picture was an indication that even animals were thrilled by the performance of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) vice presidential candidate in court so far.

They added that the picture meant the judges at the Supreme Court would rule the matter in favour of Dr. Bawumia and the other petitioners.

The exact place where the now famous picture was taken could not be determined by DAILY GUIDE but it is in wild circulation.

The picture’s quality and setting gave enough credence to the fact that it was taken in someone’s room.

The picture has been circulating fast mostly among the people in the Garden City, notably NPP fans.

People with smart phones have been exchanging the picture via whatsApp, Bluetooth and other avenues. It is also being circulated on other social media networks such as facebook and twitter.

Some NPP supporters in the city that are superstitious insisted that the matter had been judged in the spiritual realm long time ago.

They said the petitioners were adjudged winners in the case and that influenced the cat’s decision to stay glued to the television watching Dr. Bawumia for several hours.

The NPP fans were of the view that a picture of a cat watching someone attentively on television had not been witnessed in the country before.

They stated that the cat’s action was clear evidence that victory would surely come the way of the petitioners.

However, other National Democratic Congress (NDC) faithful that spoke to the paper insisted that the NPP fans were living in ‘fool’s paradise’.

According to them, though they did not have any doubt about the authenticity of the picture, it (the picture) could not determine the winner of the case.

The NDC fans said the matter at the Supreme Court was a serious matter so the NPP should treat it as such.

Some were also of the opinion that the cat got attracted when Dr Bawumia repeated Dr Kwabena Adjei’s, ‘many ways of killing a cat’ slogan.
