Paul Yandoh, the NPP Ashanti Regional Communications Director, has told people planning to go and visit Chairman Wontumi at the Nsawam Prison what his favourite food is.
According to Paul Yandoh, Chairman Wontumi’s favourite food is fufu and light soup.
Speaking in a radio interview, Paul Yandoh was quizzed about Chairman Wontumi’s favourite food in case someone wants to visit him in jail; he stated, “Chariman like Fufu and light soup; he likes preko ntwere a lot, ntintini. If you are going to visit, go along with preko ntwere and odo ayaase”.
His comments follow the 20-year prison sentence handed to Chairman Wontumi in a galamsey-related case.
Meanwhile, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, has urged Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson to tell his government to free NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi and other political prisoners.
The Minority leader made this call while contributing to the debate on the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review presented by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson in Parliament.
According to Afenyo-Markin, opposition members and government critics are being targeted through prosecutions in an attempt to suppress dissent and weaken political opposition.
He cited the case of Camilla Alhassan, whom he described as a young mother of three and a political prisoner following a one-year sentence and also referenced the 20-year prison sentence handed to Chairman Wontumi in a galamsey-related case.
Afenyo-Markin stated, “Dr Ato Forson, tell your government to free all political prisoners. Wontumi deserves justice. Camilla Alhassan deserves justice. The MPs behind me that you have lined them up for persecution, listen, you can decide to imprison every MP; it will not shut us down”.
“We’ll criticise you. We will hold your feet to account, and we’ll make sure you account for every cedi you spend. But you know what? The good news is that you are on your way to opposition,” he said.
Also, Alexander Afenyo-Markin issued a stern warning to the Attorney General following the 20-year prison sentence handed to NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
According to Afenyo-Markin, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will lose power in the 2028 general elections, and the Attorney General will find himself in opposition and could end up in jail if he does not stop the political persecution of NPP members.
The minority leader argued that an NPP government would not hesitate to prosecute and jail the Attorney General if the party returns to power.
Afenyo-Markin stated, “Let me serve a warning to the Attorney General that the ravening clouds shall not long be victorious. They shall not long possess the sky. Be careful. In 2028, you’ll be in opposition”.
“If you are not careful, if you don’t stop now, you will go and meet Wontumi there, and he will be out. But you will go in. So I am advising you now: let’s all be measured,” he said.
He further added, “We welcome the reforms by the Finance Minister, and for the first time, he has done something patriotic by acknowledging the digitalisation reforms we introduced in government payments. Today, he has acknowledged them.
“We commend you for acknowledging the NPP. We commend you, but you can do better. Tell your government to free all political prisoners. Wontumi deserves justice,” he added.
