Wontumi Bemoans Loss of Power and Peace
In a candid revelation, Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has lamented the lack of peace in his life since the party lost power. According to #MyJoyOnline, Wontumi’s statement underscores the challenges faced by high-profile individuals in Ghana’s volatile political landscape.
Wontumi’s comments come amidst ongoing legal battles and allegations of corruption, which he attributes to a deliberate attempt to unsettle him. The NPP stalwart has been vocal about the perceived persecution, stating that his troubles began after the party’s defeat in the 2024 elections.
The Chairman’s woes include a recent arrest and detention by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over alleged involvement in illegal mining activities. Wontumi’s supporters have rallied behind him, decrying the move as politically motivated and an affront to justice.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP’s 2024 flagbearer, has called for calm and urged supporters to allow the legal process to take its course. “I want to plead with all of you to remain calm as we work behind the scenes to ensure that he is out,” Bawumia stated during a visit to the National Intelligence Bureau premises.
The controversy surrounding Wontumi’s detention has sparked heated debate, with some accusing the government of weaponizing state institutions to target opposition figures. As the situation unfolds, Ghanaians are watching closely, eager to see how the case will be resolved.
