The Ashanti Regional chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, aka Chairman Wontumi is making international headlines after declaring his intention to purchase the English Premier League club, Chelsea, following the announcement of its current owner, Ramon Abramovich that he was selling his shares.
While many in Ghana see Chairman Wontumi’s bid as a joke, one of the most popular news organizations in the United Kingdom, The Sun, has published an article about it, written by their reporter Steve Goodman.

A Ghanaian gold mine owner has sensationally revealed his wild plan to buy Chelsea – and then sign Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Bernard Antwi Boasiako declared his audacious intention to make a bid for the Blues.
Current owner Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
And now politician, gold guru and radio station boss Boasiako has thrown his hat into the ring.
And the 45-year-old boldly announced himself unfazed at the likely £3billion asking price for the Champions League winners.
Boasiako’s wealth is unknown but figures in his homeland suggest it could be up to £76million.
Known as Chairman Wontumi back home, he said he will try to buy Ronaldo and Messi if he somehow wins control of the Blues.
The New Patriotic Party regional chairman also said he would seek to get rid of the record signing and sign a Real Madrid star.
