Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has taken a swipe at President John Dramani Mahama over what he describes as unfair treatment and political sabotage.
Wontumi expressed deep frustration over what he termed as selective justice and discrimination, stating that his rights as a Ghanaian businessman and citizen are being trampled upon simply because of his affiliation with the NPP.

Speaking after the attempted raid on his house on Friday, May 23, 2025, Wontumi questioned the fairness of his treatment under the current administration.
“Am I not a Ghanaian anymore? Now that you’ve won the election and become president, does that mean I’m no longer a Ghanaian?” he asked.
In a passionate political appeal, Wontumi urged all NPP supporters and Ghanaians to stand up against what he describes as political oppression in Ghana.
“Ghanaians, rise! Arise, Ghanaians! All NPP supporters should rise. It is because of you that Mahama is treating me this way,” he declared, rallying support during a recent public statement.
The Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman took the opportunity to dismiss claims that he held any high-ranking government position, emphasising that his political involvement has always been in support of the party, not personal gain.
“Was I ever a Vice President? Have I ever chaired a board? Have I ever been a CEO? Was I ever a minister?” he questioned.
Wontumi also levelled serious accusations against former President John Dramani Mahama, alleging that the Mahama administration targeted his businesses for political reasons.
“You collapsed my business back in 2013. Since you assumed office, you’ve halted all my operations. Even the bank account I rely on has been frozen,” he claimed, suggesting that his economic woes are politically motivated.
