“He Is Very Sick” — Abronye DC Raises Alarm Over Chairman Wontumi’s Health

A fresh concern has emerged within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following claims by its Bono Regional Chairman, Abronye DC, about the health of incarcerated former Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

Abronye DC has alleged that Wontumi is seriously unwell, warning party members not to believe claims that the former regional chairman is in good health. His statement has raised questions about Wontumi’s condition and whether the party’s leadership is sharing enough information with its members.

“Let nobody lie to you that Chairman Wontumi is in good health and shape. He is very sick.”

The statement is likely to attract attention within the NPP because Wontumi is a well-known figure in the party, particularly in the Ashanti Region, where he built a strong political following. His arrest and detention have already placed him at the centre of discussions among party supporters.

Abronye’s claim goes beyond raising concerns about Wontumi’s health. He has also alleged that the party’s leadership is reluctant to make the former chairman’s condition known to members. If confirmed, such a situation could raise questions about communication and transparency within the party.

However, it is important to separate the allegation from verified information. The statement provided does not include medical records, an independent medical assessment or an official response from the NPP leadership confirming the reported condition. The exact nature of Wontumi’s alleged illness and its severity therefore remain unclear.

Wontumi’s health is an important matter, especially while he remains in custody. Anyone who is detained and becomes seriously ill should have access to appropriate medical care. His family, lawyers and party colleagues may also seek clear information about his condition through the proper channels.

At the same time, claims about a person’s health should be handled carefully. Without reliable medical information, it would be premature to draw conclusions about his condition or suggest that anyone is deliberately hiding the truth.

The NPP leadership now faces renewed attention over the issue, particularly if party members demand clarification. An official statement could help address concerns and prevent speculation from spreading.
