Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aide to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has admitted that he does not feel safe, saying his outspoken nature could one day land him in trouble.
Speaking in an interview on Joy News on August 5, 2026, Aboagye said his passion for commenting on political and national issues has heightened his concerns amid what he described as growing cases of selective justice and political targeting.
His remarks come after he criticised what he believes is the selective application of justice and called for the protection of the independence of Ghana’s state institutions.
“I don’t feel safe. I won’t lie to you. I told you I have written to the Chief Justice. I personally, I don’t feel safe… I can’t stop talking. I love to talk. I love to debate,” he said.
Aboagye, however, clarified that he was not suggesting his life was under immediate threat but feared that his public comments could create problems for him.
“I feel my mouth will put me into trouble. That is what I feel,” he added.
The NPP communicator argued that political power is temporary and warned that actions taken against political opponents while in office could set precedents that may later affect those currently in power.
He noted that Ghana’s political history has shown that no government remains in office indefinitely, with leadership eventually changing through democratic or other transitions.
“Tomorrow, when another party is in power, you see, no government will be in power forever,” he stated.
Aboagye also pointed out that even military regimes eventually gave way to new administrations, stressing that political authority is never permanent.
He maintained that his comments were not motivated by a desire for revenge should the NPP return to power, but by concerns that certain actions could establish legal and political precedents with long-term consequences.
“I haven’t said that. But I am saying that precedent becomes law,” he said.
