Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has opened up about his disappointment with the party’s current leadership.
According to Chairman Wontumi, he feels abandoned despite his contributions to the party.
Wontumi questioned the party’s leadership over what he described as a lack of appreciation for his sacrifices, citing his media platforms, which remained among the few media outlets consistently promoting the NPP.
Wontumi highlighted that following the attacks on his media outlets by the government, no member of the party had come to support him or have the NPP issued a statement.
Speaking in a viral video, Chairman Wontumi stated, “The General Secretary led the party to defeat, yet we have not learned any lessons from it. The pain we expressed is the reason why.
“You can all attest to the fact that my radio stations in Accra and Takoradi have fully supported the party. Yet our party communicators and the party have done nothing about it,” he said.
According to Wontumi, the experiences he has endured since the National Democratic Congress (NDC) returned to power have taught him painful lessons.
“The pain I am experiencing in life has made me reflect deeply. It has taught me a lot. Why are you people behaving this way? Can’t you see the pain I’m going through? The NPP radio doesn’t have any other option,” he lamented.
In related news, a netizen on X, identified as Patrick Kwame Sah, has detailed how Chairman Wontumi, was abandoned by NPP bigwigs in the middle of his Samreboi trial.
According to the information gathered, Chairman Wontumi, during proceedings in the Samreboi illegal mining case, was scouting for witnesses, but his own party bigwigs abandoned him in the middle of the trial.
It has been reported that the persons who came to his aid were Wisdom Gomashie and Hon George Mireku Duker, with claims being made that the former Western Regional Minister Kwabena Otchere Darko Mensah, who was unwilling to be his witness, came up with jokes when he took the witness stand.
Also, it has been alleged that Dominic Nitiwul, Francis Owusu Ajyaw and Samuel Abu Jinapo were nowhere to be found for their witness statements during the trial.
The netizen in a post wrote, “This man called Mr Benard Antwi Bosiako alias Wontumi has been betrayed by his own NP PARTY PEOPLE.
Inside the Party, he has more enemies than in NDC, and I know that because of messages I received from his perceived FOES in NPP.
This man in the Samreboi Illegal Mining Case was scouting for witnesses, but his own party bigwigs, he believes, were perfect witnesses, ABANDONED him in the middle of the TRIAL.
Dominic Nitiwul, Francis Owusu Ajyaw and Samuel Abu Jinapo were nowhere to be found for their WITNESS statements.
The only persons who came to his aid were Wisdom Gomashie and Hon George Mireku Duker; they showed love for him WILLINGLY, and the former Western Regional Minister Kwabena Otchere Darko Mensah, who was UNWILLING and as if he was FORCED to witness for him that day with so many “JOKES”
He further disclosed that the NPP bigwigs came to court in the case of ABRONYE BAIL APPEAL but REFUSED to come to the Next Court steps away to say hello to him.
“I wept the day 17 NPP lawyers, including Odame, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Justin Kodua, etc together with NPP chairmanship aspirants like John Boadu, Nana Bee, BUGA, etc came to court in the case of ABRONYE BAIL APPEAL but REFUSED to come to the Next Court steps away to say hello to him.
They saw ABRONYE’s case as more useful than this MAN.
This man always comes to court with only 5 LOYAL FOOT SPIDERS and HONOURABLE GEORGE ODURO, his Campaign Manager, and I always ask him.
Chairman, where are the MINORITY MPS who INVADED EOCO PREMISE Demanding your RELEASE? And I am always sad with his REPLY. In fact, he is a Gentleman meeting him outside the political space or Arena.
This man is HATED by his own NP PARTY people, including my own Akomprɛko Bɛba. Some are currently fasting and praying for a custodial sentence for him in the Samreboi case, which is fixed on July 3”.his post added.
