NIB to grill Abronye today over corruption claims against Mahama

The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, widely known as Abronye DC, is expected to appear before the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) today, February 26, 2025 over allegations he made against President John Mahama.

The NIB has invited Abronye DC to provide evidence to support his claims.

Speaking on Accra-based Movement TV, Abronye accused President Mahama of withholding GH₵550 million intended for dismissed appointees at the Jubilee House.

“The Akufo-Addo government budgeted GH₵550 million for these individuals to be employed. This money comes from taxpayers, yet another government cancels the appointments and allegedly transfers the funds to the Jubilee House. So, what are you doing with the GH₵550 million that was put in bullion vans and sent to the Jubilee House?” he questioned.

“You have revoked people’s appointments, taken their GH₵550 million, and put it in a bullion van. Meanwhile, Mahama and Okudzeto Ablakwa travel every week and have not spent more than three days in the country,” he claimed.

Following his invitation, Abronye reacted, stating that he cannot be intimidated or silenced through the use of state security agencies.

Speaking on Movement TV, the outspoken politician emphasized that he remains resolute in his position on the matter and is eagerly awaiting the scheduled meeting with the NIB.

“I cannot be intimidated by any state security agency. I am not one of those who run away from accountability. Why? Don’t I have the right to question the president on where he’s keeping that money? Is this the Ghana we are building? These people know that both spiritually and physically, they always lose a fight against me. So, is this the strategy they are resorting to? I will demolish them.

“You, the same President Mahama, when you met the labour unions, stated that state resources were criminally used. Why can’t I also drag you to the NIB for questioning? We were in this country when a party chairman urged supporters of his party to burn DRIP machines, yet the Director of Investigation did not say a word on that issue. I am to appear before the NIB on Wednesday, but if they like, I can go and sleep there on Tuesday night ahead of the meeting.

“Nobody can threaten me or prevent me from asking relevant questions. Even Donald Trump was questioned after his company had a deal with Elon Musk’s company. When I appear before the NIB, I will use the word ‘hoarding’ in every paragraph. We can’t allow the government to keep that money,” he stated.
