Yaw Adomako Baafi and Dennis Miracles Aboagye
The Director of Communications for the Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has dismissed allegations made by the former Communications Director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Adomako Baafi, that he was hoarding party funds meant for certain individuals, particularly the media.
According to Miracles Aboagye, Adomako Baafi’s claims stem from personal resentment, as he was never the Director of Finance and had no control over party funds.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on March 10, 2025, Aboagye stated, “I was not the Director of Finance of the party, and I did not handle campaign funds. If campaign money was to be disbursed, it had to go through the Director of Finance.”
He further suggested that Baafi’s grievances were fueled by his dissatisfaction with his appointment as the Director of Communications.
“If someone dislikes you, no matter what you do, you can never impress them. Adomako Baafi was not happy with my appointment as Communications Director, so this reaction is expected,” he said.
Aboagye also hinted that Baafi might even have been hoping for the failure of the campaign just to justify his criticisms
“I even think he was wishing for our downfall so he can find an opportunity to say something,” he added.
Yaw Adomako Baafi, lamented the neglect of party communicators in the lead-up to the general elections.
According to him, party communicators were sidelined, and their allowances were withheld
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM on December 23, 2024, Adomako Baafi referenced Dr. Bawumia’s post-election statement that some media houses were not supportive of the party, contributing to their defeat.
He argued that the blame should also be directed at some party leaders who were responsible for managing the media and the communication team.
Adomako Baafi alleged that while the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, was paying his media team as much as GH¢1,000, the NPP’s communication budget was mismanaged.
He specifically mentioned Miracles Aboagye, accusing him of failing to address the concerns of party communicators or provide their due allowances.
