The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Bosiako, widely known as Chairman Wontumi, has expressed heartfelt condolences to his friend and brother, John Kumah, in an emotional message.
Ghanaians were plunged into mourning upon hearing the unfortunate news of John Kumah’s passing. The late deputy minister for finance left a void felt by many.
Chairman Wontumi, who had shared significant moments with the late politician, took to his social media platform to convey his thoughts and memories.
He reminisced about how John Kumah had supported him during a period of illness, expressing gratitude for his assistance in overcoming that challenging time. The sudden loss of someone who had been a pillar of support deeply saddened Chairman Wontumi.
Read his post below:
“My good friend and brother John Kumah. My heart is heavy. My eyes are full of tears. I am devastated and distraught. I have been struggling to fin the appropriate words to describe how I feel right now, because I know how you would have reacted if I were in your position. It is a mixed feeling of disbelief and shock. And this unfortunate news takes me back to some few months ago.
I remember how you stood by my side and ensured that I survived at the time that I was helplessly dying. Little did I know that I was going to survive only for me to be confronted with this devastating news of your passing months later.
I have lost a loyal friend and faithful brother whose loss is simply irreplaceable, not only to me, but to the region as well.
Rest well, my brother. We will surely meet in heaven one day.
Your brother and friend,
Chairman Wontumi
