A lot has been said since his departure to London to seek medical care, with reports from certain quarters suggesting he is suffering from stroke.
These claims have been advanced on social media by some Ghanaians, who are perceived to be sympathisers of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a Facebook post, the politician said he visited Dr. Bawumia at his flat in London and not in a hospital.
According, to him, reports suggesting the Vice President has stroke are false and must be disregarded.
Gabby Otchere-Darko wrote: “I am told Guys Hospital staff are very unhappy. Many Ghanaians trooping there asking to see a patient they’d never heard of – not even his picture rings any visual bells – don’t believe what you read in NDC ‘news’.
“Well, I’m in London and have had opportunities to spend some good, jovial and intellectual sweet moments with Dr Bawumia but far from the view of any nurse or doctor; in some small, decent flat he has rented for the very short time he is away here on leave. My mistake was to attempt to tease him about his team, Tottenham Hotspurs. I wish I hadn’t!”
