‘Don’t pardon Wontumi’ – NDC’s James Agbey warns Mahama of grassroots revolt
Mr Agbey further argued that Wontumi “is not a political prisoner but a common criminal found culpable by a court of competent jurisdiction of engaging in criminal conduct,” adding that he “does not deserve sympathy, empathy and clemency for his galamsey-related crimes.

In a public statement issued on Wednesday, July 29, Mr Agbey said recent appeals for presidential mercy were premature and should not influence the legal process.
