When questioned by the press about his well-being, he confidently stated, “I am okay.”
For over a week, Chairman Wontumi has been in the news due to comments he is alleged to have made about the Asantehene.
Following this, he was summoned to the Manhyia Palace to meet the Kumasi Traditional Council, but he failed to show up.
The General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, led a delegation to appeal for an extension, citing Chairman Wontumi’s illness.
Despite the appeal, the traditional leader denied their request, insisting that no medical report had been provided to validate the chairman’s claim of being unwell.
