Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni wants the New Patriotic Party to drop plans for apologizing to President John Dramani Mahama. The NPP wants to say sorry for comments made by their Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako. People know Boasiako better as Chairman Wontumi. The Economic and Organised Crime Office arrested him for organized crime accusations. Officials claim he caused financial losses to the state.

NPP MP Nana Yaw Afriyie from Effiduase-Asokore spoke about the arrest during a Channel One TV interview. He serves as the Ranking Member on Parliament's Health Committee. Afriyie believes someone more powerful than EOCO ordered the arrest. The MP said party leaders plan to ask President Mahama for forgiveness. He admitted Wontumi crossed boundaries with his past video statements.

Afriyie promised NPP officials would kneel before President Mahama if needed. He said they would beg for mercy regarding Wontumi's controversial comments. Azure Awuni disagreed with this approach through social media posts. The journalist told NPP elders to let courts handle criminal accusations. He argued Wontumi should plead his case in court rather than through presidential appeals.
