\n
The Ashanti Regional Women\u2019s Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly called Chairman Wontumi, to retract and apologise over alleged disparaging remarks he made against NDC\u2019s running mate, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang.<\/p>\n
The Women\u2019s Wing has, therefore, issued a one-week ultimatum to Chairman Wontumi to retract and apologize to the NDC\u2019s running mate or face their wrath.<\/p>\n
Chairman Wontumi is alleged to have made derogatory remarks about Prof Opoku-Agyemang, suggesting she was secretly married to Mr Mahama and that she originated from the Northern Region, not the Central Region.<\/p>\n
However speaking during a news conference in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional Women\u2019s Wing of the NDC condemned Chairman Wontumi\u2019s utterances.<\/p>\n
Beatrice Togborloh, Kwadaso Constituency Women\u2019s Organiser of the National Democratic Congress, described Chairman Wontumi\u2019s comments as pathetic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are here because of Chairman Wontumi. It is simply pathetic for a regional chairman of a political party to paddle with such a serious untruth with disdain. We the Ashanti Women organisers together with my colleagues, for the avoidance of any doubt, Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemeng, was born and bred in Cape Coast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am the Kwadaso Women\u2019s organiser for the NDC, and we are telling the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP to provide evidence to back his claims otherwise, he should come and apologise.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes it matter where a person comes from before you can become a vice president of this nation? What we do is whether the person is experienced and competent. The woman has Ghanaians at heart.\u00a0 So, we are telling the Ashanti Regional Chairman Wontumi to come and retract his statement and apologise,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n
