Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako has claimed that the Ashanti Regional Chief Imam, Sheikh Abdul Mumin Haroun wept on the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama because of some promises he made for the Muslim community.

Speaking on the Wontumi Morning Show, Mr Boasiako also called Chairman Wontumi noted that the Chief Imam was unhappy about a pledge by the former president and the NDC to build morgues to preserve the bodies of Muslim corpses.

To him, there are more priorities for the Muslim and Zongo communities than a mosque.

“Yesterday, when the Chief Imam spoke, he cried. He was crying because of what John Mahama thinks about the Zongos and Muslim communities. For him to cry, it represents a curse on John Mahama. It is like when your own parent weep over you for treating them bad,” Chairman Wontumi said.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama has bemoaned how chiefs are quick to condemn him when he goes wrong but reluctant to do same to President Akufo-Addo.

Addressing the chiefs and people of Jinijini in the Berekum West constituency of the Bono Region on Monday, 28 September 2020, Mr Mahama said since President Akufo-Addo took office, his governance has been replete with electoral violence, intimidation, fearmongering, discrimination, shutting down of radio stations critical of him, killing of journalists, stifling of press freedom and involving his friends and family members in corrupt deals such as the Agyapa Royalties Agreement and the now-botched PDS power contract.

He quizzed why the chiefs and elders have been quiet on all these misdeeds under Akufo-Addo.

“So, Nananom, we are both your children. And every parent knows which one of his children is the troublemaker and the ‘patapaa’ one. But often, you generalise your reproach and we all take your advice but it is now time for you to call out the troublemaker by name”, Mr Mahama told the traditional leaders directly.

“Prior to western democracy, you were the custodians and rulers and, so, you have the opportunity to talk when things are going wrong. However, oftentimes, it appears that when one of your children is on the throne, you are unable to chastise him for anything because you are scared to do so””.

“But whenever your other child ascends the throne, you’ll hear people asking: ‘Where are the wise people of our land? Everybody criticises him. But you must be balanced in chastising both children whenever they go wrong”, Mr Mahama noted.
