Apologise to Naana Jane within one week – Family to Wontumi

The family of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) running mate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, is demanding an unqualified apology from the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako also known as Chairman Wontumi, for making derogatory statements about their daughter.

This comes after Chairman Wontumi claimed that ex-president John Dramani Mahama is secretly married to Prof. Naana Jane, making her his second wife.

They deemed Chairman Wontumi’s claim that Prof. Naana Jane is a divorcee from the Northern region an insult and gross disrespect to the family.

The family head of Apatano Nsona Ebusua of Akatakyi in Komenda, William Batch Kwofie, addressing a press conference challenged Chairman Wontumi to prove his claims.

Therefore, he has given Chairman Wontumi a one-week ultimatum to retract and apologize to the first female Vice Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast.

The family head disclosed their intentions to sue Chairman Wontumi if he failed to do the honourable thing.

For his part, NDC Chairman for KEEA, John Quaicoe (Wontumi Ntaakie), condemned Chairman Wontumi’s statement and called on the NPP to publicly condemn his comments.

He urged the people of the Northern Region, especially women, to punish the NPP by voting for John Dramani Mahama and Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang in the December elections.

Mr Quaicoe noted the NDC was the only political party that accepted and embraced all ethnic groups.

He said the party was focused and optimistic about winning the upcoming general elections, so it would not allow anybody to distract it.
