In 2023, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman hopeful, real name Bernard Antwi Boasiako, went viral after footage of his massive building being constructed at Agric Nzema surfaced.
The huge building caused a stir among netizens as folks marvelled at how huge it is, with some questioning its funding source.
The building, reportedly valued between $5 million and $7 million, had numerous rooms, which made it seem like a hotel, but according to the contractor, it was to be a personal residence of the NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman.
