He Is Crying After Being Called A Thief. Ain’t You A Thief? — Lawrencia Abena Wurah Slams Miracles

According to a post shared on her official Facebook account on Saturday, October 31, 2026, Ghanaian commentator Lawrencia Abena Wurah has criticised New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator Dennis Miracles Aboagye over what she described as double standards in his approach to political criticism and personal attacks.

Abena Wurah expressed her dissatisfaction with Aboagye’s reaction to harsh political remarks, questioning why he appeared comfortable making serious allegations against political opponents but took offence when similar accusations were directed at him.

The controversy centres on comments reportedly made by Aboagye during an appearance on Newsfile, a current affairs programme in Ghana. During the discussion, the NPP communicator allegedly described the National Democratic Congress (NDC) constituency chairman for Akwatia as a “galamseyer.”

The description attracted attention from Abena Wurah, who challenged Aboagye’s approach to political discussions. She argued that someone who openly uses damaging labels against political opponents should not be surprised when similar language is directed towards them.

In her criticism, Abena Wurah questioned Aboagye’s apparent sensitivity to personal attacks, particularly considering his willingness to make controversial remarks about other political figures during national television discussions.

Her intervention has added to the ongoing debate about the standards expected of political communicators and the language they use when discussing opponents in public.

Political discussions on Ghanaian television, particularly weekend current affairs programmes, frequently attract strong disagreements between representatives of different political parties. These exchanges sometimes extend beyond policy disagreements to include personal accusations, controversial descriptions and statements capable of damaging the reputations of individuals involved.

The latest disagreement highlights concerns about the increasing use of inflammatory language in Ghana’s political environment. Critics argue that political communicators should exercise restraint and ensure that their comments contribute to meaningful discussions rather than intensifying divisions.

Abena Wurah’s remarks also raise questions about consistency and accountability among political commentators. Her position suggests that public figures who frequently engage in personal criticism should be prepared to face similar scrutiny from their opponents.

The development has further fuelled conversations about responsible political communication and the need for media personalities to encourage constructive debates rather than exchanges dominated by personal attacks.
