Boadu issued a statement on Wednesday expressing his concern regarding Chairman Wontumi's current detention. He urged NPP supporters to remain calm during this period.
The former General Secretary's statement comes as the party navigates internal matters and the legal situation surrounding its Ashanti Regional Chairman.
Details regarding the specific reasons for Chairman Wontumi's detention were not fully elaborated in the statement, but Boadu's remarks suggest a political dimension to the situation.
The NPP has faced various internal challenges, and Boadu's call for calm aims to prevent further division among the party faithful.
