The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly known the political circles as Chairman Wontumi says he is not taken lightly the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central and a flagbearer aspirant of the NPP, Mr. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong’s threat on his life.
He has, therefore, threatened to cause the arrest of the NPP flagbearer aspirant if he “threatens” his life again.
Speaking at a press conference in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital, Chairman Wontumi explained that the Assin Central MP’s threats on the life of Tiger Eye PI journalist, Ahmed Suale, eventually led to his death and as such he did not take the threats from the NPP flagbearer aspirant lightly.
Chairman Wontumi’s outcry comes after Mr. Agyapong during his “Showdown Walk” in Kumasi over the weekend accused Chairman Wontumi and the Vice President of collapsing the NPP.
Mr. Kennedy Agyapong also dared the Ashanti regional chairman of the NPP and stated that he would give him a “showdown.”
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP has thus advised the flagbearer aspirant to concentrate on his campaign ahead of the upcoming November 4 NPP primaries rather than attacking him.
“I love NPP, I will never say anything against the party or Kennedy Agyapong. I will always ensure the progress of the party. I will let the police arrest you if you threaten me again with your showdown comments. I’m advising you against such comments, your threats on Ahmed Suale’s life caused his death.
I’m not interested in you losing the elections, but please tell delegates what you can do for the party and desist from spewing derogatory comments against party members, and polling station agents. Just try to apologise to them. You have insulted chiefs, judges, and everyone in the country, everybody knows what you can do, change your attitude,” he advised.
