Chief Linguist, Nana Kofi Owusu, has told the leadership of the (NPP) led by Justin Frimpong Kodua, that they should present before the Asanteman Council the Regional Chairman of the Party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, aka, Wontumi within one week.
The order was given at meeting held on January 22 at the Manhyia Palace.
“Wontumi should be produced here by next week even if he is on sick bed” he told the NPP delegation.
Wontumi has been dragged to the seat of the Asantehene for allegedly passing unsavoury comments about Asanteman.
General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Frimpong Kodua appeared before the Asanteman Council together with the national organiser, Henry Nana Boakye as well as some regional executives of the party to plead on behalf of the Regional Chairman.
However, conspicuously missing was Bernard Antwi Boasiako. Mr Kodua told the chiefs that Wontumi was indisposed “Nananom, we could not come with Chairman Wontumi because he has not been well.”
But, the excuse did not sit well with some of the chiefs.
For instance, one of Otumfuo’s chief linguists, Nana Kwaku Owusu demanded for a medical report of Wontumi “if you claim Wontumi is sick, where is his doctor’s report?” he queried.
Mr Frimpong Kodua pleaded for clemency as he was unable to present the doctor’s report requested.
