NPP Supporter Disgraces Dr Adutwum at EOCO, Declares Unwavering Support for Dr Bawumia

• Drama unfolded at EOCO on May 28, 2025, when Dr Yaw Adutwum arrived to show support to embattled Chairman Wontumi
• In a video, a supporter, who was unhappy with Dr Adutwum's decision to contest as flagbearer, expressed her displeasure
• The video has since gone viral, triggering various reactions from netizens, especially party faithful who have criticised her

A disgruntled New Patriotic Party (NPP) member caused a scene at the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on May 28, when Dr Yaw Adutwum arrived to show support to Chairman Wontumi.

Dr Adutwum, the former Education Minister, received praise from some party members who hailed him as the best person to hold the position in Ghana's history as soon as he arrived at the EOCO premises.

Others also referred to him as the next president of Ghana. However, this statement did not sit well with one supporter at the premises, who immediately registered her displeasure with the comments.

She distanced herself from the remarks and vowed to support Ghana's former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, until her death.

"I don't know any other person; Bawumia is all I know. I'll continue to serve him and serve him till my last day on earth," she said in the video.

The woman seemed to have burst the bubble of the minister, who was enjoying the initial praises being sung for him. He hurriedly walked out of the scene to avoid further embarrassment.

The video of the woman declaring her support for Dr Bawumia is below:

Dr Yaw Adutwum's presidential ambitions

Dr Adutwum is a former Minister for Education and Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe.

He has emerged as a prominent figure in the political landscape, expressing a strong commitment to transforming the nation's educational system.

He has also declared his intention to contest as an NPP flagbearer in the party's next presidential primaries, and subsequently, become Ghana's next president.

However, it appears not all party supporters share in this vision, as some have openly expressed their displeasure over the move.

"EOCO must relocate Wontumi to their Volta region or Northern region branch office. We know that as a country, NPP people will do anything to defend criminals and people who destroy our nation because they benefited from the galamsey they were doing."

Chairman Wontumi arrested by EOCO

Meanwhile, as YEN.com.gh reported, Chairman Wontumi's woes have worsened since the Mahama-led administration came to power.

His mining license for Akonta Mines has been revoked following accusations of his involvement in galamsey and related activities.

In a video, he cried out at the financial effect of the situation, accusing the government of persecuting him for no real reason.
