A video of Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, receiving prayers from a pastor ahead of his ongoing court case has stirred mixed reactions on social media.
In the footage, Wontumi is seen standing in what appears to be a prayer session, as a pastor prays passionately over him, asking for divine protection and favour before his court appearance. The gesture has sparked debate online, with Ghanaians expressing varied opinions.
While some users commended the act—saying it is important for public figures to seek spiritual support during difficult moments—others questioned the motive behind publicising the prayer session. A section of viewers described it as a calculated attempt to win public sympathy as Wontumi continues to battle his legal issues.
Wontumi has been in the headlines recently due to an ongoing court matter involving accusations and counter-claims, and many interpret this prayer session as part of the tension surrounding the case.
For now, the video continues to circulate widely, generating commentary from supporters, critics, and neutrals alike as the Ashanti Regional chairman prepares for his next appearance in court.
