According to a report from GhanaWeb, former Communications Director of the NPP, Yaw Adomako Baafi, has strongly criticized Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the former Communications Lead for the Bawumia 2024 Campaign, accusing him of being overly self-important.
Baafi expressed that such an attitude would hinder any politician’s progress in their career.
This statement follows Miracles Aboagye’s recent response to accusations of withholding party funds intended for certain individuals, particularly members of the media.
Aboagye, in his defense, dismissed these allegations, attributing them to personal animosity from Baafi.
He clarified that he was never in charge of party finances and had no authority over campaign funds.
During an interview on Asempa FM on March 10, 2025, Aboagye explained that he did not occupy the position of Director of Finance and, as such, was not responsible for managing or distributing campaign money.
He stated that any disbursement of funds would have been handled by the appropriate department.
Aboagye went on to suggest that Baafi’s criticisms were motivated by dissatisfaction with his previous appointment as Communications Director, implying that this personal grievance was fueling the current accusations.
In response, Adomako Baafi, while speaking on Okay FM on March 13, 2025, dismissed claims that he was attempting to undermine Aboagye.
He instead advised Aboagye to adopt a more humble and approachable demeanor, emphasizing that arrogance could be detrimental to a political career.
Baafi remarked that an individual’s character and behavior are what ultimately define their success in politics, not the opinions of others.
He stated: “I am not the one to destroy you. Your own behavior will destroy you. When I heard him say people are destroying him, I laughed it off. It is not about what somebody will say; it is about your own character. What is his image like in the media? How does he relate to you in the media?”
He questioned Aboagye’s reputation and interactions with the media, pointing out instances where Aboagye allegedly ignored calls and distanced himself from others.
He further highlighted the importance of humility in politics, contrasting Aboagye’s approach with that of former President J.A. Kufuor, whom Baafi described as a model of humility and servant leadership.
Baafi denied harboring any jealousy toward Aboagye, reiterating that his concerns stemmed from a belief in the value of humility and respect in political leadership.
