“Mr Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Wontumi and co will appear before the Kumasi Traditional Council on Monday, 29th January 2024,” the radio station said hi its public notice.

Also to appear alongside Wontumi are Maurice Ampaw, a host on Wontumi Media and self-confessed friend of the Ashanti Regional Chairman, and the management of Wontumi Media.

Spotted in Kumasi
The regional chairman who was alleged to be sick, was spotted in Kumasi on Saturday during the NPP primaries looking very hale and hearty.

He told journalists in an interview that he was healthy, but refused to answer questions related to the matter before the Kumasi Traditional Council.
