The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has declared his unwavering allegiance to Asanteman, emphasizing that he would not exchange it for anything under any circumstances.
He expressed a firm commitment to defend and safeguard the Golden Stool and its occupant, rejecting any attempts by fellow party members to tarnish the dignity of chieftaincy and the traditional authority of Asanteman.
Affirming his loyalty, he stated, “I will choose Asante over NPP at any time.”
Mr Frimpong made these remarks during his appearance before the Kumasi Traditional Council on January 22, 2024, addressing alleged disrespect by the Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi.
Accompanied by the National Organiser of the party, Henry Nana Boakye, Deputy National Communication Director Owusu Bempah, and regional and constituency executives, the NPP leadership intended to present Chairman Wontumi before the Council.
However, they cited his hospitalization for medical attention as the reason for his absence.
Consequently, the party was instructed to bring Chairman Wontumi before the Council on Monday, January 29, 2024, along with the management of Wontumi TV and a program host from the media house, Maurice Ampaw.
Justin Kodua Frimpong hinted at their strategy, stating, “We will tell him to come here next Monday, and we (NPP) will dissociate ourselves from any other excuse he will offer.”
