The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party has responded to a false statement by the Asante Youth Association (AYA) that there is a deliberate agenda by the Akufo-Addo led government targeted at disrespecting the authority of theAsante Kingdom.
Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako in his reaction noted that the address put out by the group was "shallow" and "clearly lacked common sense". He therefore advised them to "just shut up" and focus on telling the truth.
"When my business was targeted under the regime of John Mahama, did AYA speak out? Where did they hide their common sense or during JM's time they traded it to him? Did they speak for me because I come from Ashanti region? Enough of your nonsense", he said.
The leaderahip of the Asante Youth Association are claiming that there is a surge in persecution of iconic businessmen from the Ashanti region by the Akufo-Addo government.
According to them, the current administration has started "a new campaign to destroy one of the business moguls of our land has begun and notably among them are; Nana Oduro Founder of First Allied Bank, Dr Kwabena Dufuor the founder of UniBank Ghana Plc, Mr Ansonamoah the largest shareholdings of UT bank".
Narrowing their statement down to Dr. Dufuor, they lamented that "this man targeted to destroy after collapsing his bank and other businesses, is the former Governor of the Bank of Ghana and former Finance Minister, our own Dr Kwabena Duffuor, one of the few Asante stars that all of us as young ASANTES look up to and aspire to become as great as he is."
But the Ashanti Regional Chairman popularly known as Chairman Wontumi responded that "the leaders of AYA have gone to take money from their NDC paymasters to spew garbage".
He explained that if the group were made of true Ashantis, they would have known that "Ashantis don't condone and support criminals".
Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako continued that the government of Nana Akufo-Addo doesn't seek to destroy businesses of private people as AYA is painting but was rather enforcing the laws to work in every sector of the economy.

As one commentor stated both parties are corrupt; however, corruption exists everywhere for is a constant battle even in in the industrialized countries!
This ***barred word*** noisemaker should ***barred word***. His ***barred word*** utterances are infuriating us. Wontumi or whatever the fuck he calls himself.
***barred word*** MAN. ILLITERATE IN A ***barred word*** PARRTY.
See this galamsay kingpin calling someone a cr.im.inal! Can this ediot explain the source of his wealth to Ghanaians? Dr dufuor was a banker and he had a bank..what about you wuntumi? This is not to say what happened at unibank was ok. He and his other directors should be brought to justice to serve as deterrent to others. It is these s3nsless comparisons which have brought Ghana to this miserable state of underdevelopment when compared to our contemporaries as a nation. So if one guy from NDC commits a crime it is also alright for another from NPP to commit a same or similar crime! What about the majority of Ghanaians who do not support these corrupt looters who call themselves NPP and NDC?
THEY SHOULD GET AWAY WITH THEIR MENTALITY BACKWARDNESS! WHERE WERE THEY (AYA) WHEN THOSE GUYS WERE NECK-DEEP IN THEIR CRIMES? THE ONLY CONCLUSION IS THAT THEY ARE BIRDS OF THE SAMES FEATHERS OR, DO THEY THINK THESE ONES ARE TIN-gods THAT ARE ABOVE THE LAW? SHALLOW MINDS; THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE EFFECT OF THEIR CRIME ON THE ECONOMY. NOOONNSENSE!
Should Dr Dufour and family as well as Nana Yaw Oduro be left of the hook because they are Ashantis? What a shame.Gyataba is really a stomach politician
nkwsia fuo wo ndc mu paaa, where were this bogus group when Mahama turned the Ashantis into guinea pigs with his national health insurance capitation only in the Ashante region? where were this stomach direction group when the ndc insulted the whole ashante kingdom by insulting the Asante Hene? where were they when Wontumi and other ASHANTES like Appiah Menka and others had their businesses destroyed, nkwasia fuo, when criminals are dealt with you say they should be left off because they are ashantes
BUT WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE AN ASHANTI? IMAGINE A LIZARD TRYING TO CALL ITSELF A CROCODILE. GO AND LOOK FOR YOUR DESCENDANTS FROM THE SAHEL REGION OF WEST AFRICA EITHER THAN GHANA. YOU ARE A LAUGHING STOCK IF YOU WOULD CARE TO KNOW. YOU ARE A BIG MOCKERY OF YOURSELF. NO FEATURES OF YOURS FIT AN ASHANTI DESCENDANT.
