The Apatano Nsona Ebusua of Komenda together with residents of the area have called for the head of Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman for Ashanti Region popularly known in Ghanaian politics as 'Chairman Wontumi' over allegations levelled against Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) which they find derogatory.
It will be recall that Bernard Antwi-Boasiako few days back, sat on his Wontumi Television to allege that John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer for the NDC in the 2024 general election and his running mate, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang have been secretly married since 2012.
To which, the Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman was recorded to have describe Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang as a Northern instead of a native of Komenda in the Central Region as widely known.
In response to these allegations, residents of Komenda, particularly women of the area and the family of the NDC running mate, having called for an unqualified apology to be rendered to the Professor, have also given the Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman a week ultimatum to present the dowry he allege Mahama to have paid on their daughter's head.
Kwaku Awotwe, Uncle to Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and other family members speaking at a press conference at Komenda, addressed the NDC running mate of being a staunch member of the Apatano Nsona Ebusua of Komenda, having found the words of Chairman Wontumi as defaming to the family and that of the former UCC Vice-Chancellor.
The family has, therefore, called on the Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman to present to them, all that which he took from Mahama as dowry paid on Prof. Jane Opoku-Agyemang within just a week, since he turns to know more about their daughter's marital life than the family.
NDC Chairman for Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) Constituency, John Quaicoe at the presser established the utterances by Bernard Antwi-Boasiako to carry no sense, as it has sort to disclose the NPP's detest for Hajia Samira Bawumia as Second Lady of the country, having equally been a Northerner.
He then impelled all Northerners to vote handsomely for the NDC in the 2024 election, since the party sees them worthy to be part of them, unlike the NPP which sees them as outcasts.
Women of Komenda in responding to the allegation, cautioned Bernard Antwi-Boasiako to be extremely careful over his dealings with Komenda as a community.
They, however, tasked him to render an unequivocal apology to Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang over the derogatory remarks passed on her, else he will live to witness the wrath of Komenda residents over his comment.
