Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has alleged that President John Dramani Mahama’s administration is unfairly targeting him.
Speaking on Akoma FM following an attempted raid on his residence on Friday, May 23, Wontumi expressed frustration over what he described as deliberate efforts to cripple his businesses and restrict his freedom.
“Am I not a Ghanaian anymore? Now that you’ve won the election and become President, does that mean I’m no longer a Ghanaian?” he questioned.
In an emotionally charged moment, Wontumi rallied supporters of the NPP, suggesting that the current actions against him are politically motivated. “Ghanaians, rise! Arise, Ghanaians! All NPP supporters should rise. It is because of you that Mahama is treating me this way,” he declared.
Wontumi went on to highlight the lack of public appointments or official roles he has held, pushing back against any justification for the treatment he claims he is receiving.
“Was I ever a Vice President? Have I ever chaired a board? Have I ever been a CEO? Was I ever a minister?” he asked.
He also accused the government of targeting his economic ventures. “You collapsed my business back in 2013. Since you assumed office, you’ve halted all my operations. Even the bank account I rely on has been frozen,” he claimed.
