Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has disclosed how he played a pivotal role in the political ascent of the Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako.
This comes as a response to Wontumi’s directive to remove all of Kyerematen’s campaign materials from the party’s office.
Kyeremanten recounted that back in 2015, Wontumi had confided in him, expressing no intentions of entering politics in Ghana.
However, a change of heart followed, with Wontumi attributing his decision to Kyeremanten’s political approach, which inspired him.
Alan indicated that, consequently, Wontumi began seeking guidance and direction from him as an emerging politician.
“Initially, I doubted his seriousness, but later, I recognized his commitment. I personally introduced him to the Bosomtwe constituency because he claimed to be from there. I was the one who recommended him for the position of chairman. During that period, I held a prominent position in the party, so he became chairman based on my recommendation,” Alan expressed.
Alan has also warned Mr. Boasiako to quit tarnishing his image around, describing him as a “ingrate”
“He [Wontumi] should be careful with the things he’s doing. You don’t have to be an ingrate if someone helps you. I led the delegation to ensure Wontumi became Regional Chairman, ask him. Now that he is gotten that top position, he thinks he is above everyone else. When I heard him campaigning against me, it was surprising,” he said.
Information came in on Tuesday September 23, of Chairman Wontumi who ordered for the the removal of all campaign materials of Alan Kyerematen in the area.
Chairman Wontumi, as he is popularly called said he will ensure the region is rid of all posters, billboards, and other advertisements of the former Trade Minister.
He disclosed this in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem Tuesday.
