What Will Happen Has Happened – Wontumi Speaks From Prison

According to a report by Ghbase News on Tuesday October 27, 2026, former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has reportedly opened up about his long-standing fear of going to prison during a visit by broadcaster Kwame Tanko, widely known as KT, to the Nsawam Medium Security Prison.

The politician, who is currently serving a prison sentence following his conviction in the Samreboi illegal mining case, is said to have shared his personal feelings about imprisonment with the broadcaster during their interaction at the correctional facility.

According to accounts of the visit, Wontumi admitted that going to prison was something he had always feared, making his current situation particularly difficult to come to terms with.

“My greatest fear in this world is going to prison, but now I’m here,” Wontumi reportedly told KT.

The statement has drawn attention to the emotional reality of the politician’s incarceration, as he adjusts to life behind bars following his conviction. Despite his previous fears about imprisonment, Wontumi is now serving his sentence at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison.

According to KT, the former NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman also used the opportunity to encourage those close to him to accept the situation and focus on moving forward rather than allowing anger, disappointment or regret to consume them.

Wontumi reportedly urged the broadcaster and others around him to come to terms with what had happened, suggesting that dwelling on the past would not change the circumstances he currently faces.

“What will happen has happened,” Wontumi reportedly said.

His remarks suggest an appeal for acceptance and a forward-looking attitude amid the legal and personal challenges confronting him.

The politician’s reported comments also indicate that he is encouraging his associates to remain composed and avoid being overwhelmed by the circumstances surrounding his imprisonment.

Wontumi’s incarceration follows his conviction in the Samreboi illegal mining case, which has attracted considerable public attention because of his political prominence and his involvement in the mining sector.

Beyond the case for which he is currently serving his sentence, the former regional chairman is also facing a separate legal battle connected to the Tano Nimiri Forest Reserve case.

The additional legal proceedings mean that Wontumi continues to face legal challenges even as he serves his current prison sentence.

His reported conversation with KT has offered a glimpse into his personal reflections on imprisonment, particularly his admission that going to prison was his greatest fear before finding himself in that situation.

While his political and legal battles continue to attract attention, his reported message to those close to him has centred on accepting the present circumstances and finding a way to move forward.

For now, Wontumi remains at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison, where he is serving his sentence following his conviction in the Samreboi illegal mining case.
