Today, Monday, January 29, 2024, the chiefs of the Asanteman Traditional Council are to meet with Benard Antwui Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party [NPP].
Following reports that Chairman Wontumi made disparaging statements about Otumfuo Osei Tutu the second, the Asantehene, the chiefs want to see him.
Following the announcement last week by the party’s leadership, led by general secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua, that Wontumi couldn’t honor their summons due to illness, there are now viral photos of the Ashanti Regional Chairman lying on a sick bed in a hospital.
A strong and healthy Wontumi was seen at what appeared to be a recent political event in a video released by sisterhood station UTV on January 29. 1Family Radio was able to confirm this information. In the film showcasing the accomplishments of the NPP administrations, Wontumi was seen, adorned in white attire with NPP accoutrements.
He declared that his party is committed to winning the 2024 election, notwithstanding the misinformation spread by the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC]. He went on to say that, due to the many accomplishments of the government headed by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the good people of Ghana will vote for the NPP.
Social media users in Ghana are responding to Wontumi’s announcement in advance of the summons. According to broadcaster Roland Walker, the Ashanti Regional Chairman seems prepared for a confrontation with the Ashanti Chiefs.
