'I am okay' – Wontumi speaks on health condition

Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako also known as Chairman Wontumi says he is healthy.

Chairman Wontumi was spotted in the Bantama Constituency during the NPP Parliamentary Primaries.

He was seen moving around and granting interviews like he normally would during the elections.

Whilst responding to questions from the press on how is doing, he said “ I am okay.”

Chairman Wontumi has been in the news for over a week now following the comments he made about the Asantehene.

He was summoned to the Manhyia Palace to meet the Kumasi Traditional Council but failed to show up.

The General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, led an NPP delegation to appeal for an extension due to the Chairman’s illness.

The traditional leader denied their request insisting that he did not provide a medical report to validate his permission.

He is, however, expected to meet the Traditional Council on Monday, January 29, 2024.
