Abronye DC dismisses petition against him as ‘frivolous’

Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has described the petition against him as “frivolous,” insisting it has no merit.

Abronye made the comments after confirming his readiness to appear before the Disciplinary Committee and proposing that the hearing be broadcast live for transparency.

This followed his referral to the NPP’s National Disciplinary Committee for alleged misconduct, including defamation of party member Kennedy Agyapong and making false claims against the General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua.

Speaking in an interview on Citi Eyewitness News on Tuesday, September 30, Abronye noted that “I will say that the petition itself is frivolous. The petition has no basis.”

He defended his earlier comments about Kennedy Agyapong, stating that he was merely responding to what he believes are anti-party behaviours.

According to him, Kennedy Agyapong, during a campaign tour in the Ahafo Region, accused NPP executives and government appointees of selling security slots between 2017 and 2024.

“Maybe the General Secretary is the one Kennedy Agyapong was referring to. That is why he has failed to invite Kennedy Agyapong to explain or name the people involved,” Abronye alleged.

He further claimed that the General Secretary may have been involved in the alleged misconduct, hence his silence on the issue.

Addressing his controversial comparison of Kennedy Agyapong to an elephant, Abronye stood by his words: “The elephant in the forest is more intelligent than Kennedy Agyapong — and that is the fact. I am not running away from that.”

He also challenged the notion that Kennedy Agyapong is a leading member of the party, stating, “That is not true. He is not a leading member.”
