An article was published to announce by the Ashanti Regional NPP Parliamentary Caucus in an official press release. The statement served to publicly condemn and completely distance the party from comments made by Honourable Kwaku Asante Boateng, the Member of Parliament for Asante Akim South. The caucus took strong exception to his reported utterances, labeling them as deeply offensive and a direct contradiction to the NPP's core values of unity, respect, and equality. They firmly rejected any narrative that uses historical or tribal identity to sow division within the party's ranks.
According to the press release shared by General Buhari on his Twitter Account, what really happened involved Honourable Boateng suggesting that the Ashanti people historically “used slaves for war” and implying that descendants of such groups are not entitled to leadership roles within the NPP. The regional caucus found this rhetoric to be not only divisive but also a dangerous attempt to question the belonging of any loyal member based on their origin. They emphasized that the NPP is a party built on the principles of freedom and equal opportunity for all, where merit, loyalty, and service—not lineage or tribe—are the true measures for advancement.

In response, the caucus reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to national unity and inclusivity. It urged all members, especially those in leadership, to exercise restraint and decorum in their public statements. The focus, they declared, must remain on strengthening the party and advancing the collective progress of both the NPP and Ghana.
