Suspended General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyepong, is demanding an unqualified apology from the Ashanti regional chairman of the party, Bernard Antwi Bosiako, for what he describes as slanderous comments and an attempt to tarnish his image.

Lawyers for Mr. Agyepong, Sarfo Gyamfi and Associates, have asked for a retraction of statements made by the chairman popularly known as ‘Chairman Wontumi’ during a media interview in Kumasi.

Chairman Wontumi vowed to prevent the reinstatement of Mr. Agyepong.

“Over my dead body; I will never allow Kwabena Agyepong to get reinstated as the NPP general secretary. This cannot happen…. last year by this time, some people were working very hard to see the NPP lose the elections, and Kwabena Agyepong was one of them …” Wontumi asserted during the interview.

Mr Agyepong in a response through his lawyers believes the comments by Chairman Wontumi are directed at exposing him (Agyepong) to ridicule, distrust, and contempt by all and sundry especially members of the NPP who support and even voted for him.

Chairman Wontumi has until Friday November 3, 2017 to retract and apologize for the slanderous comments he made against Mr Agyepong.
