Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aide to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, says his recent detention by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has only strengthened his resolve to contest for the position of NPP National Communications Director.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 15, after his release, Miracles expressed gratitude to all NPP supporters for standing by him during his detention, insisting that he remains resolute and ready to serve the party.
“I am out. I am unbroken. And I am more ready than ever. Thank you, patriots!”
According to Aboagye, he was picked up and detained by EOCO just a day after he officially announced his intention to contest for the NPP National Communications Director position.
He alleged that misleading information was circulated about the circumstances surrounding his arrest but maintained that the truth would eventually prevail.
“Four days ago, just one day after I declared my intention to serve our great party as National Communications Director, I was picked up and detained by EOCO. A false narrative was put out about my arrest, but Ghanaians are not fools, and neither are the good people of the New Patriotic Party. The facts and the truth will prevail!!”
Addressing reports linking him to an alleged GH¢55 million matter, Aboagye denied ever being questioned by EOCO over such an amount.
“FOR THE RECORDS: THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF ANY GHc55million cedis with me by EOCO. None!!!”
He also thanked NPP members and supporters who publicly demonstrated in solidarity with him while he remained in custody, saying their actions gave him strength.
“To every party faithful who hit the streets, who raised their voices, who refused to be silent, I saw you. I heard you. From my detention, word of your protests reached me, and it kept my spirit standing tall. You did not just defend Dennis Miracles Aboagye; you defended the principle that no voice can be intimidated into silence.”
Aboagye insisted that the detention had not intimidated him and vowed to press ahead with his campaign for the communications portfolio of the party.
“Let me be clear: if the intention was to break me, it has failed. If the intention was to scare me, it has failed spectacularly. I will lead New Patriotic Party’s Communications Directorate to command the narrative, and no cell, no false story, no intimidation will change that.”
He added that the experience had further motivated him.
