You can’t scare me – Old video of Wontumi taunting Mahama resurfaced online
A controversial old video of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has resurfaced online and is stirring intense public debate.
The video, which was originally aired on Wontumi’s own Movement TV, captures the outspoken Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) delivering a fierce verbal attack on President John Dramani Mahama.
In the clip, Chairman Wontumi refers to Mahama in derogatory terms and questions his leadership credentials, positioning himself as a political force to reckon with.
What Chairman Wontumi said
“I am unstoppable,” Wontumi declares in the video. “Even if Mahama sends soldiers, he can’t stop me.” His comments were made in the context of the Akonta Mining saga—a company linked to him that has long been at the center of illegal mining (galamsey) controversies.
Wontumi further claimed that no amount of military action could intimidate him or halt the operations of Akonta Mining. His comments, made with defiance and bravado, have resurfaced at a sensitive time—adding fuel to the ongoing discussions about his legal and political troubles.
The video’s reappearance comes just after National Security operatives reportedly raided his private residence, although the full details of the operation remain unclear. The coincidence in timing has prompted widespread speculation, with many on social media suggesting a possible link between his bold past statements and the current actions taken against him.
Some political observers believe the video is being recirculated deliberately to shape public opinion and possibly portray Wontumi as a victim of political targeting. Others argue that it is evidence of long-standing impunity that must be addressed.
Regardless of intent, the resurfaced footage has reenergized public discourse around Chairman Wontumi’s influence, his controversial business dealings, and his defiant political posture—especially as he battles recent legal challenges and mounting scrutiny.
The video continues to trend across multiple platforms, with supporters defending his freedom of speech, while critics insist his actions highlight a deeper issue of political arrogance and unchecked power.
