Abronye DC Summoned by NIB Over Allegations Against Former President Mahama
The National Investigations Bureau (NIB) has officially summoned Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, over claims he made against former President John Dramani Mahama. The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been directed to appear before the investigative body on February 26, 2025.
Abronye DC recently alleged that former President Mahama is hoarding GH₵550 million, which was reportedly meant for dismissed government appointees. The NPP executive made these bold claims during an appearance on Accra-based Movement Television. His statements have since sparked widespread discussions across political and media circles.
During his televised remarks, he further accused the former President of engaging in questionable financial activities related to government recruitment and dismissal processes. These allegations have drawn sharp criticism from various political commentators, prompting the NIB’s intervention.
The NIB’s decision to summon Abronye DC underscores the agency’s commitment to investigating potentially misleading or inflammatory political statements. Officials from the Bureau have expressed concerns over the impact of such allegations on national security and public trust in the political system. The NIB aims to assess the basis of Abronye DC’s claims and determine whether they hold any merit or amount to deliberate misinformation.
Following the summons, political analysts and party members have expressed mixed reactions. Some supporters of Abronye DC argue that his statements reflect his role in holding public figures accountable. Others, however, believe that such claims should be substantiated with credible evidence before being made public.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly condemned the allegations, calling them baseless and an attempt to tarnish the reputation of former President Mahama. Some NDC members have also called for stricter measures against individuals who spread unverified political claims.
As Abronye DC prepares to respond to the NIB’s summons, the public remains keen to see how the investigation unfolds. Will the NPP executive provide evidence to support his claims, or will he retract his statements under scrutiny? The coming days will provide more clarity on the matter.
Meanwhile, stakeholders are urging political figures and media outlets to exercise responsibility in their discourse. Ensuring accuracy and avoiding misinformation is crucial in maintaining peace and stability in the country.
