The Resident Director of the Weija Leprosarium, Father Andrew Campbell, has revealed a touching aspect of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Speaking in Accra on Friday, June 7 at the launch of a book detailing the impactful work of Dr. Bawumia as Vice President, Father Campbell, who has collaborated with Dr. Bawumia on social projects for the poor and vulnerable, shared positive testimonies about the Vice President, highlighting his commitment to supporting lepers.

"People come to Weija and they put their hands behind their backs. They don't want to greet the lepers. But when Bawumia comes, he shakes hands with everyone," said Father Campbell.

"He called me on Christmas Eve and said he would be with us on Christmas Day. When he came, he went around and greeted everyone."

"When he arrived from his car, he took the youngest member of our community into his arms and gave her a warm embrace," added Father Campbell, who also recounted how Dr. Bawumia has been tirelessly supporting the Weija Leprosarium.

"He has been supporting us, and his doors are always open to me," Father Campbell continued.

A number of people at the launch, discussing the content of the book, corroborated their own experiences with Dr. Bawumia at both personal and professional levels.

The book, "Dr. Bawumia and the Modern Vice Presidency," authored by communications Professor Etse Sikanku, explores the Ghanaian Vice Presidency and how Dr. Bawumia has transformed the office through his focus and advocacy.
