The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi says he will not watch the younger brother of former President John Dramani Mahama, Ibrahim Mahama to engage in any form of mining as far as the NPP is in power.
He warned the business magnate to respect directives from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo against illegal mining or face his wrath.
According to him – “If some of us are respecting the president’s directives to stop illegal mining, then who is Ibrahim Mahama, who the hell is he?”
The controversial bauxite mining concession approved to Exton Cubic Group Limited has created confusion among two Ministers in the Nana-Addo led administration.
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, is not happy that the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, John Peter Amewu, is encouraging Ibrahim to move his equipment to the Nyinahin bauxite site for mining when there is a ban on mining in the region.
Mr Ibrahim Mahama moved his Engineers and Planners (E&P) heavy-duty equipment to the site but was prevented by the residents and the DCE of the area.
Chairman Wontumi as affectionately called in politics on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ was emphatic that “Ibrahim Mahama has no valid documents to allow him mine. The President has ban mining so he should respect that.”
“What is wrong is wrong, we are not going to allow him pollute our waters and destroy the forest. If John Peter Amewu still insists he can mine, we will demonstrate against him. This will not happen under my watch,” he angrily said.
Ibrahim Accuses Wontumi of Sabotage
The Chief Executive Officer of Engineers and Planners (E&P), Ibrahim Mahama has accused the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly known as Chairman Wontumi of sabotaging him in order to settle personal scores.
According to Ibrahim Mahama, the scheme of Chairman Wontumi by organizing his boys to undermine Exton Cubic will not succeed as planned.
“Let's support our own. The attempt by certain individuals especially the Ashanti Regional Chairman of NPP to whip up sentiments against the company by organizing his boys in the area to undermine Exton Cubic will surely not see the light of day,” he stated.
The EPA in a statement earlier suggested that Exton Cubic Group is not permitted to operate at the Nyinahini Bauxite Concession as they did not complete some requirements needed to gain the prospecting license.
The Minerals Commission has also issued a warning to Exton Cubic Group Limited to stop any attempt to enter the Nyinahin Kyekyewere Forest Reserve to undertake any mining activity.
According to a release signed by the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Kwaku Addae Antwi-Boasiako, Exton Cubic Group has failed to fulfill all conditions as per the terms of their mining lease.

Our leaders are not serious? Previous generation left the forest for the next generation. Why are we so greedy and want to destroy everything? Ibrahim mahama cannot do any business without this pay your way through business. It is time the youth of every region wake up else this greedy old folks and leaders will destroy ghana. We behave as if forest is not important. Let's begin to reason as people and stop greediness and think about the next generation
this is politics made in ghana. evil games at the highest order
You guys don't know what is happening huh! Ibrahim before his brother became vice and subsequently president was an npp guy by virtue of his mother and uncle. But decided to join his brother because of greed. So though NPP is in power he still has the connection because of her mum and probably ex president kufuor because he used to dig ibrahim's mum. Don't know if he still digs him di3. So full stop.
Ibrahim Mahama is a professional miner with professional winning company, he doesn't pollute water. You guys have even signed contracts to Chinese and still signing for them to mine, why this hate? Wantumi doesn't understand the game of politics, it is likely NPP will lose 2020 elections then you will see where power lies. Just be careful with what you do today because you don't know tomorrow. Even when Mahama was in power I never heard Ibrahim insulting any body. Note that in his company at Obuasi there more NPP members working there than NDC and if you doubt go there and find out.
This is what happens when you claim to be a quack business mongol with little education and your brother and mother have a few connections in both NPP and NDC ; this Ibrahim Mahama his wife and siblings should understand that we live in a country with rules and regulation and therefore have to obey the rules ;they cannot be allowed to ride coaches and horses through the laws of the land by paying Mr Peter Amewu and Afriyieaka 'SIR JOHN' besides should sack Sir John for trying to undermine what he seeks to do ; this man is dangerous to the NPP and is a mole in the party ; this ibrahim Mahama a typical northner fro bloe who never did well at school but prefered to go into the cocaine business by sending these girls as cocaines mules to sell cocaine abroad should understyand that his brother Jon Mahama is no more in power ; and that Nana Addo is the President and when he gives orders we are all suppose to obey the laws of the land ; Nana Addo has warned that there should no mining or any mining prospects anywhere in the Ashanti region until proper regulations have been implemented but this Mahama family think they are above the law and can do what they like because they think Ghana belongs to them - NO WAY !!!!!!!;they are grossly mistaken because the powers to be will not allow this family business called Cubic Group to go anywhere to mine bauxite in the forest ; afterall Cubix Group belongs to his wife and siblings so what is this idiotic northner takling about ; shall we send to alow these fullish northners to contaminate our waters before we wake up -NEVER !!!!!AGAIN !!!!!
