Watch As Chairman Wontumi Arrives At Manhyia Palace To Face Ashanti Chiefs

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, a.k.a. Chairman Wontumi, has spearheaded a delegation of prominent party members to the Manhyia Palace.

The purpose of their visit is to engage with the Kumasi Traditional Council to address concerns stemming from alleged disparaging comments attributed to Chairman Wontumi.

Accompanying Chairman Wontumi is esteemed figures, including Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei Mensah, Chieftaincy Minister Asamoah Boateng, Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, National Chairman of the NPP Stephen Ntim, NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua, NPP National Organizer Henry Nana Boakye, NPP National Treasurer Dr. Charles Dwamena, and various other NPP regional executives.

 

 

The outcome of the meeting with the traditional council holds potential significance for Chairman Wontumi, whose alleged derogatory remarks against the Asantehene prompted the Kumasi Traditional Council to seek clarification.

This second-highest decision-making body within the Asante Kingdom, comprising traditional leaders, subsequenlty issued a directive for Chairman Wontumi to appear before them.

The genesis of this development traces back to an altercation between Chairman Wontumi and the Kokosohene, Nana Kwaku Dua, during the recent vetting of parliamentary aspirants in the Ashanti region.

The Kumasi Traditional Council, on Thursday, January 22, 2024, directed the NPP, represented by General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua, to produce Chairman Wontumi for a hearing.
Pictures of the Ashanti Regional chairman lying on a sick bed in a health facility went viral after the leadership of the party led by its general secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, informed the chiefs last week that Wontumi couldn’t honour their summons because he had not been feeling well.

Now, a video shared by Citi Tv, GHone Tv, and Joy News on X showed a strong and healthy Wontumi arriving at the Manhyia.

Wontumi could be seen bowing to greet some of the chiefs and shaking hands with some of them.

Earlier, reports said the Kumasi Traditional Council was set to take a decision on the case before it.

According to a report by myjoyonline.com, this is coming about as members of the Council have been called into a crucial meeting on the matter.

The report added that this meeting aims to come to a conclusion on what steps to take regarding the case before it, concerning Chairman Wontumi.
