He made this disclosure during an interview on Wontumi TV on May 15, while emphasizing his long-standing commitment to the party’s progress.
The businessman and politician, who has announced his intention to contest for the position of National Chairman, described himself as a loyal and dedicated supporter of the NPP.
He stated that his financial contributions and other forms of support have been consistent and well-documented over the years.
Wontumi noted that his assistance to the party has always been without expectation of personal gain.
He recalled his time as the Bosomtwe Constituency Chairman, when he provided both financial and logistical support not only to his local constituency but also to the regional and national levels of the party.
According to him, while the party was in opposition, he regularly sent funds to the national headquarters to aid in its operations.
He also mentioned that after organizing the Ashanti Regional Congress in 2014, he donated a substantial amount—GH₵1 billion—to support the national congress, which led to the election of Chairman Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong as National Chairman and General Secretary, respectively.
In addition to his financial input, Chairman Wontumi highlighted his role in securing office space for the party in the Ashanti Region.
He stated, “In 2014, I contributed funds at the national level for the Tamale Congress that elected Chairman Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong as National Chairman and General Secretary, respectively. After organizing the Ashanti Regional Congress, I donated GH₵1 billion from the remaining funds to the party. This is something I do regularly—I am a very selfless person.”
He said he personally rented an office building for a decade before later obtaining a permanent location for the party’s regional operations.
He acknowledged the platform and recognition the NPP has given him through his leadership role, stating that his rise in public prominence is largely due to his service to the party.
