“I have not apologized to John Mahama” - Abronye reveals

Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has been at the center of controversy following allegations he made against former President John Dramani Mahama. Abronye DC claimed that Mahama had hoarded GH₵550 million meant for dismissed government appointees at the Jubilee House. His statement sparked widespread debate, leading to his invitation by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) on February 26, 2025, to provide evidence supporting his allegations. This development intensified political discussions, with some members of the NPP and the general public questioning the credibility of his claims.

Following his summons, reports began circulating that Abronye DC had apologized to John Mahama, with some media outlets suggesting he had retracted his statement. Additionally, Dr. Stephen Amoah, a former Deputy Finance Minister, publicly urged him to apologize if he had no substantial proof for his accusations. These reports fueled speculation that Abronye DC had backed down from his initial claims, leading to mixed reactions from both supporters and critics. However, conflicting reports emerged, creating uncertainty about whether he had indeed apologized or if the media had misrepresented his stance.

Abronye DC has since come forward to refute these claims, stating unequivocally that he has not apologized to Mahama. He insists that he stands by his initial allegations and has not issued any form of retraction. His statement has reignited political discourse, with some viewing it as a firm stance on his claims, while others see it as an attempt to maintain his political relevance. This incident highlights the broader issue of misinformation in political discussions and the need for accurate reporting to ensure the public has access to credible information.
