Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the communicator and spokesperson for former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has alleged that his successor at the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD) told him some persons in government were pressuring him to find dirt on him.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on July 21, 2026, Miracles Aboagye alleged that Gameli Hoedoafia, the Executive Secretary of IMCCoD, after assuming office, asked a mutual friend to advise him to stop criticising the government because he had been instructed to find dirt on him during his tenure as Executive Secretary of the committee.
According to Miracles Aboagye, he boldly rejected the request to be silent as he speaks on behalf of Dr Bawumia and the NPP.
Miracles Aboagye on Asempa FM stated, “When the IMCC Executive Secretary came into office, within the first three months, he told a mutual friend to call me and tell me that the government was putting pressure on him to find something against me, so I should keep quiet about criticising the government.
“Later, there was a face-to-face meeting involving myself, him and the mutual friend, where he repeated the same thing. I told him that I speak for the former Vice President and I speak for the NPP, so asking me to keep quiet was like asking me not to exist. That was simply not possible,” he added.
He added, “After that, I received a message from him indicating that an audit had been conducted and that I had to respond. I received the draft audit report and submitted my response accordingly.
A second draft was later issued, raising three issues. We requested a meeting with the auditors to discuss the concerns.
“Subsequently, I was informed that I had to make a refund after they concluded that the committee had incurred some financial losses”.
Meanwhile, Miracles Aboagye has challenged reports linking his recent arrest by EOCO to an alleged GH¢55 million financial irregularity.
According to Miracles Aboagye, EOCO investigators are questioning him over transactions amounting to about GH¢9 million and another GH¢5000, with a procurement issue involving GH¢5.2 million.
Speaking in that same interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen programme on Tuesday, July 21, Miracles Aboagye stated, “I am being questioned over about GH¢9 million, not the GH¢55 million amount circulating in the public domain. The story of my arrest and, subsequently, my house in the public was put out by EOCO for reasons best known to them”.
“It was GH¢9 million and GH¢5,000”.
“Yet, miraculously, under some strange circumstances, EOCO, even writing on the back of the petition from the IMCC, still inflated this GH¢9 million to GH¢20 million.”
“For an organisation like EOCO, you don’t do that to your citizens with such figures.”
According to Mircales Aboagye, he questioned the origin of the widely reported GH¢55 million figure, saying he sought clarification from EOCO officials.
“I asked about the origin of the GH¢55 million that was put out by EOCO officials, and they told me they didn’t put out that figure in the public domain”.
He argued that IMCCoD never controlled such an amount. Mr Aboagye rejected suggestions that the alleged irregularities involved GH¢55 million.
“In fact, there cannot be any GH¢55 million because the organisation had no GH¢55 million”.
“GH¢5.2 million is the figure over which EOCO has an issue with me.”
He added, “GH¢5.2 million in terms of procurement — all of that are processes. But the organisation didn’t even have such an amount”.
