Former Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, has made a passionate appeal to President John Dramani Mahama, urging him to protect his life, which he claims is currently in danger.
In a video posted by Ohia TV on Saturday, October 11, 2025, Abronye cited provisions from the 1992 Constitution, emphasizing that it is the constitutional duty of the President to safeguard both the state and the lives of individuals, regardless of their political stance or party affiliation.
According to him, the Constitution clearly mandates that “the President shall protect the rights and freedoms of every citizen.” Abronye stressed that as a Ghanaian citizen, he is entitled to the same protection guaranteed under the law.
“I am reminding President Mahama that as the Commander-in-Chief, it is his constitutional responsibility to ensure my safety. I am in danger, and he must act now,” Abronye declared during the live interview.
He alleged that he has received several threats to his life as a result of his outspoken political views and frequent criticisms of certain decisions taken by the current administration. Despite these threats, he vowed not to be intimidated or silenced.
Abronye further noted that Ghana’s democracy must allow citizens to express their opinions freely without fear of persecution or harm. He urged the Ghana Police Service and National Security to act promptly on his plea, warning that failure to do so would be a violation of their constitutional mandate.
“The Constitution doesn’t say protection is only for those who support the government. It says the President must ensure the safety of every Ghanaian, including me,” he stated.
The former Bono Regional Chairman has long been known for his fiery political commentary and controversial remarks that often stir public debate. His latest statement has once again sparked reactions across the political spectrum — with some Ghanaians expressing concern for his safety, while others accuse him of dramatizing the situation for political attention.
As of press time, neither the Presidency nor the Ministry of National Security has issued an official response to Abronye’s claims.
Security analysts, however, have urged the government to take his concerns seriously, noting that in a democracy, all citizens — regardless of political background — deserve protection under the law.

Abronye concluded his remarks by reaffirming his loyalty to Ghana’s democracy, insisting he will continue to “speak the truth without fear,” even in the face of threats and intimidation.
