Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako also know as Chairman Wontumi wants Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram Hon. Sam George to be blamed for the physical assault the latter was subjected to during Thursday's Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
He accuses the NDC MP of not presenting himself at the event grounds as part of the monitoring or observer team drawn from Parliament, but rather going to the constituency with a violent mentality ostensibly to create chaos.
Narrating the genesis of the gun-shot incident on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, Chairman Wontumi said the security men should be commended for acting swiftly to prevent Sam George and his ‘macho-men’ from marring the beauty of the by-election as they attempted to carry the ballot boxes at the polling station.
“May God reward everyone according to their works. What did Sam George do? When he got there (together with his macho-men), he didn't behave as a Member of Parliament but as someone with the intension to create chaos by taking the ballot boxes away as happened in 1992, 1996 and 2000 elections. The same orthodox way that Sam George and his macho-men are noted for,” Wontumi alleged.
“...if the security personnel had not stopped them, they would have destroyed the electoral process....because one of his men attempted to kick the ballot box. This incident did not occur in a vacuum, something triggered it; that is what we shouldn't forget," he added.
The Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman however described the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election as the most peaceful he has witnessed in the annals of the country's political history.
“...he wanted to test the resolve of the security agencies to see if they have the will-power to strike and they disciplined him to remind him that he cannot introduce the violent nature of the NDC into a national electoral contest,” he stated.

Using the pythagoras theorem, calculate the number of slaps Sam George received. Finally using the almighty formula, explain why you think the number of slaps received by Sam George is (a) more than enough, (b) enough or (c) less than enough. Use a graph where possible.
masa, if you care to know, you loosing ya rspect these days ok. listen up and listen well, doesnt we have greater accra chairman and executives?. what you doing of late is nonse.nse ok. sit down, strategise for winning massive for the party in 2020 and stop that arrogant but remember, of all the tireless efforets of adams mahama, now we are in power, we cant even trace the true killers, JB killers cant be traced, ports madam PRO killers cant be traced. sit down and reason and stop been like RAMBO in the party for NPP doesnt accept that rambos in the party. we need thinkers, common english mpo, you cant speak better even as PREMPEH COLLEGE boy. i keep on saying that, the roots of wisdom in NPP after so many years i have followed the party now, lies in prez kufour and kyei mensah. if we allow these guys to the president, the council of state even cant match their wisdom. you should go to them, get advise and be reasonable than following that d.og ken agyapong always ranting. wontumi, you have family and no matter where abroad they stay, living in Ghana will be like hell for them. politics is low and high, even rawlings can praise nana addo, wontumi reason up. you gettting too a.rrogant of late. if you speak, they insult you but i tell you, if kyei mensah is made to resign as MP, come to be chief of staff, nana will excellently perform. i have closly followed the man and though he is a bit miser or doesnt show cash, he indeed is so wise and the way he handle even hot issues to calm tensions, really tells it all. the chief of staff can be minister of gender or ambassador, bagbin is at parliament and so is joe wise, i think is kyei mensah isnt around as MP, he can still advise as we have few lil guys there sensible than ken agyapong to step in kyei mensah shoes. i wish we NPP manage the economy, security, social life and true governance structure to lift Ghana rather to trying to do a lil more to shame NDC. NDC is our competitor but the more we focus on NDC, we forget that south africa, uk etc are countries we competing economically to be strong in the world. as government in power, you need not to struggle to win, if it happens, they check yaself. people in Ghana are so wise, if they are in real hardship, they dont complain but is URSULA OWUSU, GLORIA AKUFO are fo.oling and in luxury and that impudence no on is talking off, no one will accept. ECG has increased their billing this year indirectly, people should check. gh 100 credit bought and with 5 days is gone. the explanation was high usage etc but i told them, masa, my father was a former metre director and i know much more. upon checks, its admitted and they are trying to rectify. this is where the party communications must be stationed to be on the nerves of the big men at ECG, report to the minister and action taken not ayawaso by election which adds nothing to NPP. win or loose, NDC cant change but we fighting for a disgrace widow. if you have lived with ya husband for years, died and just less that a month contesting , people shot, injuired and the family are happy you a good wife. if i were her, i wouldnt have gone close or near as i ask maself, is this the party ma husban brother so much worked for but made a mistake ursula owusu made but ma husban bro is sacked?, i will ask maself where were all these guys and cash when ma husband needed it most? and finally i will ask, even in tradition, ya naaa wives stood 17 years without a man so why cant i do even same by allowing someone else to contest as i mourn ma husband. lets remember her, parkiament will not entertain that black clothes always so she can leave the black clothe and be parliamentary like and still claim she loved the husband. any woman whose husband gets a new wife isnt by any explaination a good one. if concubine, fine is hidden but a 2nd wife means, you forfit ya duties when that. we knows moslems are allowed by religion but those not moslems or a chief. the woman is a shame to widows and must apologise. had it been that the party unanimously made her, fine but as going through contest fiercly inya own party to be candidate, had the man not died at the hospital, i would have suspected the woman. she is to quick to ignore the nice man almost every one is saying. not that he is dead but over 90% of the saying are all good , i ask masef, will ken agyapon if not changed get tha same applause, hahahah
