Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a spokesperson and aide to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has raised concerns about his personal security, saying his outspoken nature could expose him to challenges.
Aboagye said he is worried that his frequent public comments on political and national issues could put him in difficult situations, particularly amid what he described as growing incidents of political targeting and selective application of justice.
Speaking in an interview with Joy News on August 5, 2026, he said his decision to openly express his views has become a source of concern, although he remains committed to speaking on issues of national importance.
His comments follow his criticism of what he termed the selective use of justice and his call for stronger protection of the independence of Ghana’s public institutions.
According to him, political authority is temporary, and actions taken against opponents while in power could create precedents that may eventually affect others when political circumstances change.
“I don’t feel safe. I won’t lie to you. I told you I have written to the Chief Justice. Personally, I don’t feel safe. I cannot stop talking. I love to talk. I love to debate,” he said.
The NPP aide, however, clarified that he was not claiming that his life was under any immediate threat, but rather expressing concern that his outspoken personality could create difficulties for him.
“I feel my mouth will put me into trouble. That is what I feel,” he added.
Aboagye noted that Ghana’s political experience shows that no government remains in power permanently, as leadership changes hands between different political parties over time.
“Tomorrow, when another party is in power, you see, no government will be in power forever,” he said.
He added that even military regimes, despite relying on force to maintain authority, eventually gave way to new leadership.
Aboagye stressed that his concerns were not based on seeking revenge if his party returns to government, but rather on the possibility that certain actions taken today could establish a precedent for the future.
“I haven’t said that. But I am saying that precedent becomes law,” he stated.
