A Chief in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti
Region, has openly confessed that he has switched allegiance from the ruling NDC
to the opposition party the NPP because of the hard work and charisma of the
Regional Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Chairman
‘Wontumi’.The Chief of Brodekwano, Nana Kwame Acheampong, made the
admission on Thursday when the regional chairman visited his palace as part of
his ongoing community tour to some constituencies in the region.
This was
after the Chief accused the Deputy Constituency Women's Organizer, Maame
Asantewaa of spreading falsehood about him that he is in bed with the ruling
party NDC.
Narrating his ordeal, Nana Acheampong said it was ironic and
he felt exceedingly embarrassed when his plea for bags of cement for
infrastructural projects at the Bosomtwe District was turned down by the NDC for
reasons that he is a member of the NPP.
He said he needed the cements
seriously for development projects but he was told point blank by some
executives of the NDC that he is an NPP member. The ordeal according to him
hurts him badly and for Maame Asantewaa to label “me as an NDC member” makes it
worse.
"It hurt me so much that your deputy women's organizer accused
me of supporting the NDC; if anything at all Wontumi is my brother and I cannot
support anyone apart from him. It is said that charity begins at home and so why
would I deny my own and throw support behind another person," Nana
Acheampong lamented to Chairman ‘Wontumi’.
He therefore stated
emphatically that he would support Chairman Wontumi on any day because of the
popular mantra 'Adze Pa Wo fie a oye' to wit it is better to support your own
than support someone outside. |
