Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Media personality, Blakk Rasta, has chastised the Ashanti regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi over reports of him disrespecting the king of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
In his view, Chairman Wontumi’s statements that aim to discredit Otumfuo’s hegemony are reprehensible and unbecoming given the Ashanti Kingdom’s stature.
He blasted Chairman Wontumi for treating Otumfuo disrespectfully and said that he shouldn’t let his national notoriety and fortune fool him into thinking he was in a conflict with the Asantehene.
Blakk Rasta called on the Otumfuo to deal with Chairman Wontumi, whom he dubbed “arrogant,” during an appearance on the UrbanBlend program that GhanaWeb was watching. He said that Wontumi should learn a lesson by speaking out against authority.
“You cannot disrespect Asantehene [Otumfuo Osei Tutu II]. Even if he strips naked and runs around like David, respect the throne that he sits on. That kingdom is so historically powerful and bigger than Asantehene. So, if you disrespect the Asantehene, you are not only disrespecting one king, you are disrespecting all the kings that ever sat on the throne, and you are disrespecting that ancient kingdom.
“How on earth should Chairman Wontumi open his mouth because of some dirty galamsey money that he has, sit back and say that he has built his own kingdom and that you have your police, you have your military, and that Asantehene cannot order you around? It means that I will spew every kind of nonsense into your face and tell you anything that I want to. That’s what it means,” he said.
He also called on President Akufo-Addo to ensure that Chairman Wontumi is brought to book over his disrespectful comments.
“Apart from Asantehene summoning the arrogant Chairman Wontumi, I call upon the president of the country [Akufo-Addo]. If he’s truly the president and is in charge, you need to call this man to book.”
