The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, said that former President John Dramani Mahama skipped Ghana’s 66th Independence Day celebration in the Volta Region out of the pain and anger he feels inside.
Mr. Mahama missed a chance, according to Chairman Wontumi, by not showing up to a celebration hosted in the stronghold of his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman made these remarks in response to the former president’s absence from the celebration of Ghana’s 66th independence day, which was held in the Volta Region.
I am not going to be in Ho because I don’t want to be part of an NPP jamboree”, the Former President said adding that, he will always attend Independence Day if it is characterized by the sense of nationalism the event has always been celebrated with.
Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, however, in an interview with Movement TV, said that Mr. John Dramani Mahama didn’t attend the meeting because he was angry.
“Since Volta Region is his stronghold, you should have gone to praise Akufo-Addo for holding the celebration there. But he said, with pain and anger, he said he is an Nkrumahist and therefore won’t go. So John Mahama wants to tell us that he is now a CPP and no longer an NDC?” Chairman Wontumi said.
