Wontumi asserts that Alan was once opposed to Akufo-Addo becoming president at the age of 70, yet today, he himself has attained the same age and is seeking to become president.

“Fortunately, or unfortunately, now he is also grown, because at that time, Akufo-Addo was 70 years old, and now he is also 70 years old. Now, you are grown, Alan. You are 70. He has grown and turned into a butterfly,” Wontumi stressed.

“For you, Alan, we have never seen you criticizing the NDC before. You have never criticized the NDC before, despite all the dumsor (power outages) that we experienced and Mahama’s issues.”

He added “But the party gave you a position for you to be able to take care of your wife and children. Now, all of you understand English even better than me. Your wife speaks better English than me now; she speaks it more fluently than Wontumi. Now, NDC members are speaking for you.”

Chairman Wontumi, in response to Alan Kyerematen's resignation, has also issued a memorandum for the removal of all NPP photos and billboards featuring Alan from their party office and associated locations.
