Actress Ama K Abebrese has reacted to the controversial comments made by Bernard Antwi Bosiako a.k.a Chairman Wontumi about John Mahama’s daughter.
The filmmaker feels the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party’s comments are inappropriate.
Ama K Abebrese stated that the girl is just a child and Wontumi’s words had sexual innuendoes.
Chairman Wontumi in a discussion on his radio station sort to advise John Dramani Mahama to stop flaunting his daughter who is thirteen years old on social media.
He advised that if the former president does not desist from the act, someone might do something to her.
“So now what he does is that he posts his daughter indicating that she is now of age. Someone will catch her and do something to her for him to realize that if you have a daughter you will hide her,” he said.
Ama K Abebrese released a statement on Facebook to condemn Chairman Wontumi’s comments.

Over the last week, my attention was drawn to a video on social media about comments made by Wontumi, a chairman from the ruling party of Ghana’s NPP political party about the 13-year-old daughter of former President Mahama, and current flagbearer of the opposition NDC political party.
The unpalatable comments made in the Twi language, which can be translated as “so now what he does is that he posts his daughter indicating that she is now of age. Someone will catch her and do something to her for him to realize that if you have a daughter you will hide her.”
Womtumi’s comments in no uncertain terms are abhorrent and inappropriate. Especially when it is interpreted with sexual innuendo.
For someone in frontline politics to say such a thing about a young child is frankly unacceptable. Regardless of whether that child’s parents work in a bank, are farmers or a former President.
We all know it’s commonplace during elections time for political parties to throw jabs at each other. I don’t care about anyone’s political party and affiliations. Also spare me the political party supporters and their blind support of their leaders; but wrong is wrong, and children should be off-limits.
