Presidential Advisor and Special Aide to President Mahama, Joyce Bawah, is demanding a formal apology and retraction from New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye.
Additionally, Madam Bawah is seeking GH₵10 million in compensation over alleged defamatory statements made during an interview in March 2025.
A letter issued through her lawyers at R.O. Solomon Consulting noted that Abronye claimed their client was advised against lobbying for a ministerial role and instead took a presidential staffer position with a GH₵95,000 monthly salary, supposedly a stress-free position.
Abronye also allegedly stated that, due to this salary, Bawah had become disrespectful to Ghanaians.
However, the lawyers have dismissed the claims as false, reckless, and malicious, asserting that the statements have caused severe embarrassment, reputational damage, and public ridicule for Bawah.
The letter acknowledged the constitutional right to free speech but emphasized that it does not extend to spreading deliberate falsehoods aimed at damaging reputations.
The lawyers have threatened to initiate legal action if Abronye fails to publicly apologize and retract the comments on the same platforms they were shared, and the compensation is not provided.
