Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka \u2018Wontumi\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n THE ASHANTI Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, is virtually up in arms against Kofi Asante, a broadcast journalist.<\/p>\n According to him, Kofi Asante, who is the morning show host of Akoma FM<\/em>, a popular radio station in Kumasi, is sabotaging his efforts to get re-elected as NPP chairman.<\/p>\n Nicknamed \u2018Wontumi\u2019 in political circles, the NPP capo, who sounded very angry and panting for breath, accused Kofi Asante of being unprofessional live on radio.<\/p>\n Kofi Asante\u2019s Crime<\/strong><\/p>\n Kofi Asante suffered the verbal attacks from Wontumi when he (Asante) called Wontumi to comment about allegations that he (Wontumi) had abandoned a public school project.<\/p>\n Scores of people, including traditional leaders of Kromoase near Kumasi, had called into the Akoma FM<\/em> morning show to accuse Wontumi of abandoning a school project.<\/p>\n According to them, Wontumi\u2019s company was awarded the contract to build a classroom project at Kromoase but he has abandoned project, after receiving the contract sum.<\/p>\n Nana Opoku Karikari, the Kromoase Chief, said he has been reliably informed that Wontumi is in charge of the abandoned project, and urged him to do the right thing.<\/p>\n \u201cI am not agitating because of politics. I only want to see development in my community,\u201d the Kromoase Chief noted, and said Wontumi was not helping them.<\/p>\n Kofi Asante\u2019s Intervention<\/strong><\/p>\n At this juncture, Kofi Asante, who is an award-winning broadcast journalist, said the Kromoase residents were only making allegations against Wontumi, who deserved a hearing.<\/p>\n The Akoma FM<\/em> morning show host therefore decided to give Wontumi the opportunity so that he could directly respond to the wild allegations, being leveled against him.<\/p>\n Wontumi Spits Fire<\/strong><\/p>\n When Wontumi was given the platform to respond, he surprisingly started to verbally attack Kofi Asante instead, accusing him of being diabolical and unprofessional.<\/p>\n \u201cKofi Asante you are diabolic. I will not reply you as to whether I am in charge of the project or not. I don\u2019t owe you any explanation,\u201d he said and hanged up the phone.<\/p>\n Kofi Asante, who was shocked by Wontumi\u2019s actions, said \u201clisteners should make their own judgment because I gave him the chance to confirm or deny the allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n FROM I.F.
