Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, who serves as the Ashanti Regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has unveiled the source behind the information that stirred up Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, leading to his strong reaction.
Agyapong’s response was marked by a fervent threat of confrontation with both President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
This reaction was triggered by an incident involving his representative in the North East Region during the super delegates conference held on August 26, 2023.
Wontumi disclosed in an interview with Metro TV that the informant who relayed this information to Kennedy Agyapong was Kwame Owusu, a former executive of the Ghana Maritime Authority.
According to Wontumi, it was Kwame Owusu who personally reached out to Kennedy to convey the unfolding situation.
“The incident occurred in the Northern Region, and the individuals present on the scene promptly contacted Kennedy to brief him. Specifically, my uncle, Kwame Owusu, played the role of messenger in this situation… He communicated with Kennedy, and given the circumstances, Kennedy’s emotions were running high,” Wontumi revealed.
Wontumi further emphasized the apparent redundancy of conveying such news to Kennedy, especially when there were law enforcement personnel and representatives present on-site.
He questioned the necessity of Kennedy being informed when proper channels were already in place to address the matter.
He went on to clarify that Kwame Owusu was stationed in Kumasi during this time. Acting as a campaign lead for Kennedy Agyapong, Owusu maintained a steady stream of communication with the Assin Central MP.
He provided periodic updates on the situation unfolding across various regions of the country, engaging with Kennedy in conversations spanning five to ten-minute intervals.
