Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aide to the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed concerns about his personal safety.

According to him, his outspoken nature could potentially create problems for him amid what he describes as increasing cases of political targeting and selective justice.

Speaking in an interview on Joy News on August 5, 2026, Aboagye said he remains worried because of his habit of openly commenting on political and national matters.

His concerns come after he criticised what he described as the selective use of justice and called for the protection of the independence of Ghana’s state institutions.

According to him, political power is temporary, and decisions taken against opponents while in office could create a precedent that may later affect others when power changes hands.

“I don’t feel safe. I won’t lie to you. I told you I have written to the Chief Justice. I personally, I don’t feel safe…I can’t stop talking. I love to talk. I love to debate,” he said.

However, he clarified that he was not suggesting that his life was in immediate danger, but rather that his outspoken nature could expose him to difficulties.

“I feel my mouth will put me into trouble. That is what I feel,” he added.

He noted that Ghana’s political history demonstrates that no government remains in power forever, stressing that different political parties may eventually take over leadership of the country.

“Tomorrow, when another party is in power, you see, no government will be in power forever,” he said.

Aboagye argued that even periods of military rule, despite the use of force, eventually resulted in leadership changes.

He explained that his concerns were not driven by a desire for retaliation should his party return to power, but rather by fears that certain actions could establish a harmful precedent.

“I haven’t said that. But I am saying that precedent becomes law,” he stated.
