NA APOLOGY WE GO CHOP? THAT IS BULLSHIT! HAT ILLITERATE FOOL MUST RESORE ALL DAMAGES DONE TO GHANA'S ENTIRE WATERBODIES AND THE FRAUDULENT LOANS HE SCOOPED FROM CHINA EXIM BANK. AFTER THAT, HE MUST BE SHOT AT THE TESHIE MILITARY RANGE, FOLLOWED BY AKUFO-ADDO AND KUFUOR.

GHANA MUST INVEST ALL THOSE LOANS IN HOLDING OVER 51% CONTROLLING STAKES IN ALL ITS STRATEGIC NATURAL RESOURCE BUSINESSES. WTF IS 30% MINORITY STAKE? DO GHANA LEADERS THINK AND THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE?

GOLD DOES NOT STAY IN THE GROUND FOREVER? MUMU LEADERS.

KUFUOR AND HIS APPOINTEES CAME INTO GHANA GOVERNMENT TO LOOT AND FREELOAD ON GHANA TAXPAYERS, AND THEY GOT AWAY WITH ALL OF THOSE.

SO, AKUFO-ADDO ALSO MADE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR TO GHANAIANS THAT HE AKUFO-ADDO AND HIS APPOINTEES ALSO TOOK A DIVE INTO GHANA GOVERNMENT TO LOOT AND FREELOAD ON THE STATE, PERIOD!

MAHAMA IS ALSO IN AGAIN TO SUBTLY LOOT THE STATE, BUT HIS APPROACH IS SMARTER BY GIVING A GOLD MINING CONCESSION TO HIS BROTHER TO MINE GHANA'S GOLD FOR THEMSELVES, WITH THE LEFTOVERS GOING TO GOLDBOD AS THEIR "CORPORATE SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION" TO THE USELESS MUMU PEOPLE OF GHANA.

SUCCESSIVE ASANTEHENES AND SAM JONAH AND OTHER CHIEFS HAVE BEEN HAVING THEIR SHARE OF GHANA'S GOLD FOR DECADES. SO HERE GOES THE CYCLE OF ENDEMIC LOOTING OF THE GOOD REPUBLIC OF GHANA.

WE SHALL ALL SWIM IN THE SHITHOLE THESE LOOTERS CREATE FOR THE REST OF US TO SWIM IN. THAT'S WHAT IS PLAYING OUT TODAY IN GHANA. GHANA IS FINISHED AND CAPUT!

President Mahama is in a big dilemma and in a fix. How could he instruct his AG to file for a Nolie Prosequi for NDC Thieves, give Damang Mine to Ibrahim Mahama and imprisoned Wontumi? Bernard Antwi Boasiako is now demanding his pound of flesh bcoz JDM is not clean. If he frees Wontumi he will be regarded as a culprit, when he refuses Akans will use it to demand a cancellation of the Damang Mine Contract. I advised JDM to be clean from onset.

Chairman, those around you and advising you aren't smart at all, they're failing in their duties of guiding you in sound decisions making. You weren't jail on the orders of Mahama, your apologies should be directed towards Ghanaians and the environment. Your political jabs and commentaries directed at Mahama and the wife were in bad taste, but if you're reading this, trust me, they're the least involved in regards to your present predicament.

Can someone explain to him in Twi that he's not in prison because of 8yrs unrelentless abuse and denigrating of Mahama and his family, urged on by Nana Addo and Bawumia, very unpleasant and alien in our culture and democracy as it was. HE'S IN PRISON BECAUSE OF DESTRUCTION OF THE FOREST AND DISREGARD OF THE LAWS OF THE LAND. Mahama has nothing to do with his imprisonment, regardless of what the NASTY PEOPLE'S PARTY thinks.

What has he done to President John Dramani Mahama for him to apologise to him? Was he imprisoned bcoz he's hurt the President? I don't think Chairman Wontumi & his followers have regretted for mining in a forest reserve, his apology is not genuine and shd not be accepted. Again President Mahama don't own Ghana for him to behave like any Criminal can be freed by him. Mind you he made a big mistake by filing for a Nolie Prosequi for some members of his party,NDC he shouldn't repeat it again. His integrity is hanging in the Air.

All criminals in Ghana should apologise to the president and first lady to be pardoned, set free from prison. Criminal and evil politicians behaves like Ghana belongs to them alone, they are all corrupt, they are all greedy and selfish, they are all country wreckers, they are all evil and manipulative, they steal us, Ghanaians with impunity, with their business partners or through awarding mineral contracts, lease to foreign investors for pittance and they will go and collect bribes from them 2/3 percent. We know their game and we will keep saying it to their faces, whether they like it or not, for it is only the truth that will set us free. Criminal politicians had been destroying Ghana over the past 50 years with no stopping in sight, why? because they think we are all fools, we can't see, we do not know. Useless and Criminal politicians use national development to steal us to death with nothing to show for, enough is enough, they should go and do a days work, properly job and stop talking rubbish as always.

The saddest thing to have happened is what these NPP guys are making us to believe. They’re finding every reason to tell us that someone tried and convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction is as a result of personal and political issues and not the facts of the matter.
They’re finding every made noise and called him a political prisoner when their attention was drawn to the falsehood they’re peddling in that regard, they’ve dropped that and now sticking to this.
It’s very disingenuous on the part of the NPP to think that this guy was jailed because of his comments. If they do, the right place is to appeal and possibly go to the Supreme Court. They should and challenge the facts in court and stop throwing dust into the eyes of people.
They sat down, listened, and watched while this guy went on a spree of spreading falsehood. They touted him as their leader, they never thought of the illegality he was involved in.
NPP and its apparatchiks should give us a break. A careful read of what is said in the report even casts doubt about any wrong done by this guy. That if he had said anything overboard, he should be forgiven. The question is: has he done anything wrong? Did he himself agree to the facts presented by the prosecutor?

If ever Mahama listens to this fool, Mahama and his NDC will lose my vote. Did this useless fool called Wontumi ever think he will apologise to Mahama if he had not been imprisoned? This stupid illiterate used his radio station to denigrate Mahama without any provocation. This man should remain in prison for the next 20 years. Former president Kufuor used vindictive Akufo-Addo to imprison for appointees of NDC under J J Rawlings, namely; Victor Serlomey, Kwame Peprah, George Sipa Yankey, Dan Abodakpi, Ibrahim Adam, etc. All these individuals were imprisoned for one reason or the other. So what is different about Wontumi? The man thought he was the president of the World and so untouchable that he decided to spew garbage.

Wontumi’s predicament had nothing to do with President Mahama. He has committed a crime against the state and has been convicted by the state. His apology to the president will not have any impact on his jail term. It is time the country sends a strong message to Ghanaians that every body involved in galamsey if caught will pay a price for their crimes.

Mahama pardons the disgusting Ashanti Governor at his own risk. Wontumi punished millions of Ghanaians by his singular greed, selfishness, and criminal stupidity. Mahama has no mandate to pardon him.

What do you mean by IF AT ANY STAGE THE CONVERSATION WENT OVERBOARD. It simply depicts arrogance with no intention to accept that the invectives Convict Wontumi irresponsible spewed out constitute not only verbal abuse & also culturally unacceptable in our society. What do you intend to achieve with this conditional apology. You are matured enough to know that the uncouth Convict Wontumi did wrong. Stop this arrogance must stop. In any case, was it the President who jailed him or the law. Go to court & present your cheap apology to the judge.

"IF the conversation was overboard...."? So you really don't admit it was overboard but that in case the President found it so? Can we call this an apology or public stunt? A sincere apology is naked, plain without ifs and maybes. Come again, Dr. At any rate, his jail was due to the blatant breach of the law on illegal mining and not because of insults to the President.

That in my humble opinion is very very stupid! Apologizing for what? As what he said was not the truth, and he intentionally said it to maligned the Honourable President, or that he is sorry now that he has found himself in a dire straight and needed some favours ! This is definitely a mockery of apologies!
