Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, says he is prepared to offer a sincere apology to President John Dramani Mahama if he has wronged him or any member of his family.
Speaking in an interview on Asaasepa Radio, Wontumi indicated that he does not consider himself above apologising and would willingly do so if given the opportunity.
According to him, apologising is a sign of humility and responsibility, regardless of a person’s status.
“I am not bigger than any advice or apology. We apologise to our children when we offend them; how much more the first gentleman of the land? I am not bigger than an apology,” he said.
The comments come at a time when Chairman Wontumi is facing a number of legal challenges, including cases related to alleged financial crimes and illegal mining activities.
Wontumi is currently standing trial in several matters, including allegations of causing financial loss to the state and engaging in illegal mining operations within a forest reserve.
Meanwhile, Criminal Court 4 is expected to deliver judgment on July 3, 2026, in one of the cases involving the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman.
The outcome of that case is being closely watched by both political observers and members of the NPP, particularly as Wontumi remains a prominent figure within the party.
His remarks about apologising to President Mahama add a new dimension to the ongoing political and legal developments surrounding his name.
