Chief of Staff Doesn�t Carry Political Weight- Chairman Wontumi

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, has called the bluff of the Chief of Staff, Mr. Julius Debrah, after claiming his presence in the region has scuttled the campaign of the NPP.

According to Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, not even the president and his vice can match him in terms of campaigning, least the Chief of Staff.

Speaking at a press conference to formally welcome the founder and failed Presidential Candidate of the United Progressive Party, Mr. Akwasi Addae Odike, who has officially endorsed the candidature of Nana Akufo Addo, Chairman Wontumi, as he is affectionately called, reiterated that no one can match him in the region, stressing that he can handle both President Mahama and Vice President Amissah Arthur without sweat.

According to him, bringing the Chief of Staff to the Ashanti Region to campaign was one of the most politically unwise decisions on the part of the NDC because "he does not carry any weight"

"I am telling the NDC and the Chief of Staff that no matter what they do, they can never have their way in this region as long as I am the Chairman," he said.
