According to a story by MyNewsGh.com, the well-known politician revealed that due to the difficulties in the United Kingdom, he had to move all of the children there to Ghana.
“There is too much hardship in the UK. As I speak to you, I have brought them all to live in Ghana because Ghana now is better than the UK”, Chairman Wontumi said on Movement TV in an interview monitored by MyNewsGH.com.
All of his children, he continued, are British citizens, but he had to make that difficult choice.
He maintained that there is no place on earth free from hardship, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War, which resulted in a lack of western imports of grain products.
Chairman Wontumi made this remark while urging Ghanaians not to minimize the tranquility and comfortable lifestyle they currently enjoy under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“What we are pleading with Ghanaians is that there is hardship everywhere in the world. I gave birth to my children in the UK but as I speak to you, I have brought them all to live in Ghana because Ghana is now better than the UK.” Chairman Wontumi emphasized this in his interview.
“My advice to Ghanaians is that, if we don’t take care a day will come we are going to lose the place we are”, he stressed.
