Wontumi Arrest: We will make President Mahama 'uncomfortable' if provoked – Nana B

The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has issued a strong warning to President John Dramani Mahama over what he describes as the persecution of political opponents.

His remarks follow the arrest of NPP Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

In a video snippet shared by UTV on X on May 28, 2025, Nana B reacted to Chairman Wontumi’s invitation and subsequent arrest, expressing concern over the repeated summons of politically exposed individuals to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).

While assuring that Wontumi was recovering after his reported hospitalisation, Nana B cautioned the government against what he called a pattern of intimidation.

“The New Patriotic Party will resist any attempt by the government to persecute our members,” he declared.

He further warned President Mahama about the political consequences of such actions.

“It has been just five months since he took office. If he wants peace to govern this country, we will give it to him. However, if he continues on this tangent, persecuting our people, we will make him unpopular. If President Mahama wants to be uncomfortable in governance, we will give that to him,” Nana B stated.

On another score, he reiterated that Chairman Wontumi was recovering and was expected to be granted bail after reporting to the CID on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
