The New Patriotic Party (NPP), constituency Chairman for the Manhyia South has given the National Organizer of the party Henry Nana Boakye popularly known as Nana B, a 24hour ultimatum to retract and apologize to the media fraternity for questioning their credibility on publication they made about Chairman Wontumi during the party’s parliamentary vetting.
During the party’s parliamentary vetting at Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia’s Campaign coordination office at Asokwa in Kumasi, Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly known as “Chairman Wontumi’ allegedly challenged Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s authority.
This follows a confrontation between the outspoken Chairman and Manhyia South Constituency Organizer, Alhaji Aboba after wontumi’s allegedly failed to share testimony about Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh MP for the Manhyia South constituency and Minister of Energy’s contributions to the party before the vetting committee.
He was alleged to have said he has built his own kingdom in the region, so he is not afraid of anybody, including Otumfuo.
“I have built my own kingdom, I have my own police and military, and I will speak my mind to Otumfuo if I disagree on an issue with him (Otumfuo)”.
Speaking to Isaac Justice Bediko in a telephone conversation to confirm the statement, Ofori Atta Manhyia South Constituency Chairman said: “I issued the statement, I have given Nana B 24hours ultimatum to retract and apologise to the media for questioning their credibility.
Chairman Wontumi made the statement before 40 people in the conference about why he is the only one trying to cover the issue with lies. If he fails to apologize to the Asanteman and the media I will come out with the full story’’ he warned.
Below: is the full statement the Manhyia South Constituency issued to warn the New Patriotic Party’s national organizer ?
RETRACT AND APOLOGIZE
…Tom Tom Gives 24 Hours Ultimatum To Nana B
I have become aware of a statement issued by the National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party, Mr Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as ‘Nana B’, on an incident that took place during the party’s vetting of Parliamentary Aspirants in the Ashanti Region, held at the Dr. Bawumia campaign office at Asokwa, Kumasi, on January 3rd, 2024.
In his statement, Nana B described as false, media reports which suggest that the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, Mr Bernard Antwi Bosiako, popularly known as ‘Chairman Wontumi,’ acted in a manner that shows disrespect to His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, during the vetting.
Nana B went ahead to state: “As the Chairman of the Vetting Committee, I can recall a little misunderstanding that ensued between the Regional Chairman and the Manhyia South Constituency Organizer in which I was committed in resolving. However, in my capacity as the Chairman for the committee, I did not 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.”
Having carefully read Nana B’s statement, which is full of blatant lies, I am calling on him to retract and apologize by close of today, Thursday, January 18, 2024, else I will come out with the full facts tomorrow, Friday, January 19, 2024.
I must add that there were about 40 people in the vetting room and the facts cannot be hidden.
