Oheneba Nana Asiedu, a broadcaster and aide to the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi), has threatened to boycott events involving NPP Members of Parliament (MPs) on Wontumi Media platforms.

Speaking on his morning show on the same platform on March 14, 2025, Oheneba Asiedu warned presenters against broadcasting anything related to a recent press conference held by the Minority Caucus.

He threatened to take any presenter who discussed the press conference off air.

“The Minority will have a press conference. When I come here tomorrow, I will not talk about it because, once again, they have chosen Joy FM, Asempa, Citi FM… Our brothers at Movement TV have joined them, but they can sit in Accra and speak about it.

“But as for Wontumi Radio and Wontumi TV, if I hear any presenter talking about it, I will take them off air. Take this from me,” he said in Twi.

He stated that the media house would not report on events of the Minority Caucus “until they come back to their senses and stop the stupidity they are engaging in Accra.”

The broadcaster claimed that the Minority Chief Whip and MP for Nsawam/Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, told him that Wontumi Radio/TV was not included in their budget when he inquired about their absence from a previous Minority Caucus event.

“The last time they held a press conference, we called Annoh-Dompreh, and he told us their budget did not cater for Wontumi TV and Wontumi Radio. And yet, these same people will be fronting Dr. Bawumia’s campaign. Can Annoh-Dompreh come and ask me to cover Dr. Bawumia’s campaign?”

He further asserted that the leadership of the Minority Caucus had caused Dr. Bawumia to lose the support of the 88 NPP MPs in Parliament.
