Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, has slammed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s Spokesperson, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, for calling all Ghanaians hypocrites except himself.
Miracles Aboagye had said on TV3’s KeyPoints show on Saturday, May 23, 2026, apart from himself, all Ghanaians are hypocrites.
The NPP member was commenting on the recent arrests of some people who made remarks on social and mainstream media which state security agencies deemed as hate speech and insults, and which had the potential to destabilise peace in the country.
During his contribution on the show, Miracles Aboagye noted that he is the only Ghanaian who criticised similar incidents in the Akufo-Addo era, when his own government was in power, and therefore has the licence to do same now, making all other critics hypocrites.
“In this country, to put it bluntly, we are all hypocrites. Edudzi is a hypocrite. I think I’m the only person that is not a hypocrite,” he stated.
Responding to him, Mr. Tameklo cited instances that makes Miracles Aboagye the biggest hypocrite in the country.
“Today, my brother Miracles says all of us are hypocrites except him. I just want us to do a reference and go to gbconline.com ‘Miracles Aboagye slams calls for release of Democracy Hub protesters’. Thank you, for your holier than thou attitude this morning. Which form of speech is more than the right to demonstrate?” he quizzed, adding that “at the core of the right to demonstrate is free speech.”
He further reminded Aboagye of how the people he was advocating for them to be still kept in prison were only exercising their right to free speech.
“When young people of this country went on demonstration and the reason for the demonstration was that they felt there were things happening in this country they were not happy, under the name, Democracy Hub, Miracle and his people, bandied them up, took them to Nsawam Prison and when calls were made by well-meaning Ghanaians that these individuals should be released, Miracles went on Asempa and likened the demonstrators to rapists.
“That is your record and you have the temerity to sit on this platform and call people hypocrites?” he sternly criticised.
