Abraham Koomson, the Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), has said the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, should not blame anyone for his fate.
According to Abraham Koomson, Abronye is being attacked both spiritually and physically.
He cited Abronye’s recent verbal attacks on Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, who warned him to retract his insults and apologise within 72 hours or face consequences.
Speaking on Ahotor FM’s Yepe Ahunushow program on Saturday, September 13, 2025, Koomson stated, “Abronye does not believe in the spiritual realm, but this world is both physical and spiritual. When you ignore such warnings, the consequences can manifest”.
He also added that Abronye was facing physical challenges as a result of his public conduct of frequent insults and provocations.
“The way Abronye goes about insulting people could certainly provoke someone to do him harm. He should not blame anyone for his fate,” Koomson added.
Also, Nyankopa Daniels, spokesperson of Peace Watch Ghana (PWG), has said Abronye DC, has become a national nuisance who must be sanctioned by the NPP.
According to Nyankopa Daniels, Abronye has attacked several prominent individuals in Ghana, including Archbishop Duncan Williams and, recently, Ghana’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohonu, without provocation.
She noted that leaders need to be criticised when they are underperforming, but the politics of insults are not acceptable.
Speaking on the issue, the spokesperson for Peace Watch Ghana stated, “The politics of insults directed at our leaders is unhealthy. We have every right to criticise our leaders if we believe they are underperforming, but resorting to denigrating words like ‘stupid,’ ‘mad,’ and other insults, as Abronye DC does, is unacceptable.”
“The NPP had a responsibility to discipline him when he started misbehaving,” she continued.
She added, “How can you tell the IGP that his shoes smell or call him all sorts of names? You can criticise him if you think he is not performing, but you must not insult him. Abronye should be cautious. He is becoming a public nuisance. I feel for him because if he continues to attack people unprovoked, he will be left to fight his battles alone, as even those who would defend him are the very people he has insulted.”
“Peace Watch Ghana is asking the NPP to immediately withdraw and discipline Abronye DC,” she said.
“His behaviour should not be tolerated by the party. He has insulted pastors, politicians, businessmen, and even members of his own party. He is a negative example for our children.
Nyankopa Daniels added, “He has normalised insults, leading young people to believe there is nothing wrong with disrespecting leaders. This is unacceptable, and we must put a stop to it.”
Abronye was remanded by the Accra Circuit Court into police custody for one.
The police had earlier stated on the social media platform X on September 8, 2025, that Abronye had been charged with offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace.
Meanwhile, Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, has revealed that the Attorney-General, Dr Dominic Ayine, had already indicated plans to intervene to ensure that Abronye is granted bail.
According to Martin Kpebu, Abronye should not be kept in custody for a week over his misdemeanour.
He revealed that the court can sit at any time, and the necessary legal processes can be filed to secure Abronye’s bail immediately.
Lawyer Kpebu cautioned the government to protect democratic freedoms and respect the rule of law.
Speaking on TV3’s Key Points program on Saturday, September 13, 2025, Martin Kpebu stated, “Ayine is stepping in so that, latest by Monday, Abronye should be out. This is not what we voted you guys in to do”.
He further added, “Abronye doesn’t have to be in custody for even one week. Today, the right process can be filed, the judge can sit today, and grant Abronye bail. If we don’t speak up, it will grow and become worse”.
“We have grown past the communist inferior tactics. I am not, for one moment, supporting the despicable comment by Abronye, but these are misdemeanours,” he indicated.
