The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwo Boasiako commonly known as Chairman Wontumi, has officially announced his decision to contest for the National Chairmanship position of the NPP.
According to Chairman Wontumi, he had an encounter with God before he decided to contest for the position.
He asserted that he is hopeful that leading the party’s chairmanship position will see the party return to power in 2028, as Ghanaians wish.
Speaking on his station Wontumi TV, Chairman Wontumi stated, “I have spoken to God and I have pleaded with him, that when it is time for Chairman Wontumi, the NPP is an elephant when it’s time I will pick form in serving with respect to serve the NPP for us to return to power in 2028”.
“So I will say yes, I will contest for the NPP National Chairman when the time comes”, he boldly declared.
Meanwhile, Chairman Wontumi was recently in the news when he responded to allegations linking him to illegal mining (galamsey) activities.
Chairman Wontumi boldly claimed he is not involved in galamsey and will never do galamsey.
He boldly claimed the Lands Minister was just lying against him as he has a legitimate license for his mining operation.
Speaking during the New Patriotic Party “Thank You Tour”, Chairman Wontumi stated, “When they (NDC) came they were talking about galamsey now they want to frame me with galamsey, which is not the truth.
Chairman Wontumi I don’t do galamsey, Chairman Wontumi I will never do galamsey, the places you are Chairman Wontumi I’m I the one doing mining there? The minister is just lying, I have a legitimate license that is a lease”, he boldly stated.
His comment came on back of the the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah revealing that he has authorized the Minerals Commission to take steps to revoke the lease of Akonta Mining Co. Ltd with immediate effect.
Wontumi’s Akonta Mining has since sued the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, and the Minerals Commission.
The lawsuit is challenging the recent revocation of Akonta Mining Company Limited’s mining lease.
