The New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s Bono East Regional Secretary, who also serves on the party’s executive council, has disclosed how Bryan Acheampong, the Abetifi Member of Parliament and a flagbearer candidate, allegedly interrupted the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, during a council meeting.
In his statement to the council, Bryan Acheampong reportedly urged the council to take into account the concerns raised by former President John Agyekum Kufuor, who had recently bemoaned the party’s neglect.
Chairman Wontumi, however, interrupted, bringing up the recent disclaimer made by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in which he disputed media rumors that he had tried to postpone the July 19, 2025, meeting of NPP delegates.
Bryan Acheampong was upset with Wontumi’s interruption and told him to “sit down and shut up,” the Bono East Regional Secretary said in an interview on Movement TV on July 15, 2025.
He also mentioned that he had been the one to save him when he had problems with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Speaking about President Kufuor’s letter yesterday, Hon. Bryan attempted to persuade the executives to consult with President Kufuor.
Nana Addo’s concern was also brought up by the chairman, who confirmed that the president had not mentioned delaying the conference. As a result, Chairman attempted to speak during Bryan’s speech.
“It was at that point that Bryan Acheampong said to him: Sit down and shut up; I just bailed you. Even though I don’t know if he was joking or serious, if he meant it, then it was not the best way to speak to the NPP Chairman,” he said.
Although Bryan Acheampong may have been kidding, the Bono East Regional Secretary went on to say that such a statement was improper if taken seriously.
“If he meant it, then it wasn’t on a good note. Your brother going into trouble shouldn’t be used against him.
The situation Chairman Wontumi was in could have been resolved by himself, but the law did not permit that. So, if you do such a favour for someone, it doesn’t make the person your slave.
“I don’t want us to dwell too much on that, but once the story is published, I can’t deny it as a council member… it was a statement that came out, and we want to assume it was said in jest. But if he meant it, then it wasn’t the best,” he stressed.
