VIDEO: You are father for all, please don’t let Wontumi go to prison – NPP's Paul Yandoh cries to Mahama on live TV

The Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Paul Yandoh, has appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to intervene in the ongoing legal challenges involving the party’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako.

Speaking on Kumasi-based Fakye TV, Mr. Yandoh reportedly made an emotional plea, urging the President to show leniency and assist in resolving the matter.

“I am pleading with you Mr. President. You should please release Chairman for us,” he said.

Mr. Yandoh acknowledged that there may have been shortcomings in the circumstances surrounding the case but maintained that the situation warranted the President’s intervention.

“We are aware that in some of the situations, there were excesses that occurred. We plead with him to intervene,” he stated.

He further appealed to President Mahama to ensure that the legal proceedings do not result in imprisonment for Chairman Wontumi.

“Don’t let Wontumi go to prison, we plead with you,” he said.

Describing President Mahama as a leader for all Ghanaians, Mr. Yandoh appealed for compassion and understanding in the handling of the matter.

“We know you are the father for all. Kindly intervene for us,” he added.

He also expressed confidence that any intervention by the President could help bring the issue to an amicable resolution.

“We know that if you intervene on our behalf, things will go well for us,” Mr. Yandoh stated.

Chairman Wontumi is currently facing legal proceedings linked to the ongoing Akonta Mining case.
