The chairman of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Ashanti Regional parliamentary vetting committee Henry Nana Boakye has vehemently refuted media reports suggesting that the regional chairman of the party, Bernard Antwi Bosiako, popularly known as chairman Wontumi, acted disrespectfully towards the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II during the party’s parliamentary vetting.
While acknowledging a minor misunderstanding between chairman Wontumi and the Manhyia South constituency organiser, Nana B, as he is popularly called asserted that, in his capacity, he did not personally witness any conduct by the regional chairman disparaging or lowering the authority of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II during the committee’s work.
“I can recall a little misunderstanding that ensued between the Regional Chairman and the Manhyia South Constituency Organizer, which I was committed to resolving. However, in my capacity as the Chairman of the committee, I did not personally witness any such conduct by the regional chairman that sought to disparage or lower the authority of our revered and highly respected King during the conduct of our work as a committee,” Nana B clarified in a Facebook post.
This clarification comes amid heightened tension among followers of the two personalities after the widespread media publication.
However, Antwi Boasiako expressed his profound respect by affirming that “I love Otumfuo and I will always praise him before I speak on any network in the Ashanti region or anywhere.”
”Anybody who wants to lie, may the gods of this land curse you according to your heart and your belief if you claim I disrespected Otumfuo“, Wontumionline.com quoted Chairman Wontumi as saying.
