 DENNIS MIRACLES ABOAGYE SHED TEARS ON LIVE TV

The Director of Communication for the Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, hosted the maiden episode of The Next Chapter show, a political program dedicated for the Bawumia Campaign. The show which first aired on Sunday, 26th May, 2024 at 5pm attracted a lot of audience as over 150 media stations across the country broadcasted.

During the live telecast of the program, Miracles Aboagye was seen shedding tears when he was speaking about the Free SHS program. What triggered emotions, was a testimonial from a Free SHS beneficiary who if not for Free SHS, would have ended up on the streets. The girl has given birth to three children and couldn’t go to school but Free SHS offered her an opportunity to go to school and rekindled her interest in education.

In a viral video clip of the show, Miracles is seen receiving a handkerchief from a production team staff and wiping tears when the testimony was being played. “When you look at this young lady, where would have her future been? She was in search of an opportunity to secure her future…let us protect her and take it from there, let’s not abandon this mission,” Miracles said sobbingly.

NDC BRANCH EXECUTIVES ARRESTED FOR STEALING SHS FOOD ITEMS

It has been widely reported that some matrons in Somé SHS at Agbozume, in the Ketu South Municipality have been stealing food items meant to be feeding the Free SHS students in the boarding house. This pilfering has been going on for a while now and perpetrators have been successfully apprehended.

Beans stolen by the matrons

But for the assembly member for the Logove Electoral Area, Ibrahim Ayuba, the culprits wouldn’t have been intercepted with the items. Among the items stolen are tin tomatoes, mackerel, detergents, and insecticide spray. Some of the items were found in the matron’s bag and in the bursar’s car.

Further checks have revealed that these matrons are not just loyalist of the opposition National Democractic Congress (NDC) but Branch Executives within the Ketu South Constituency who have served the party for many years.

Other food items stolen

This could clearly be another attempt by the NDC to discredit the strides Free SHS has made and create flaws for the policy when there isn’t as many attempts to smirch the policy have proven futile.

The media at the press conference

In a recent statement, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the Director of Communications for the Dr Bawumia Campaign, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of harboring envy, bitterness, and hatred towards the beneficiaries of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, commonly referred to as the “Akufo-Addo graduates”. The Free SHS policy, a flagship program of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) government led by President Nana Akufo-Addo, aims to provide free secondary education to all eligible Ghanaian students. Since its inception, the policy has been both lauded and criticized.

According to Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the recent attacks on the Free SHS policy and its beneficiaries by the NDC’s flagbearer is indication of sheer envy, bitterness, and hatred towards these promising young Ghanaians. He said that instead of celebrating the opportunities afforded to these students through the policy, the NDC has resorted to negative rhetoric and criticism.”The NDC’s constant attacks on the Free SHS policy and its beneficiaries reveal a deeper animosity towards the progress and success of young Ghanaians,” he stated. “Rather than offering constructive criticism or proposing alternative solutions, the NDC chooses to undermine the achievements of these students and the government’s efforts to improve access to education.” he further remarked.

BAWUMIA’S TEAM EXPOSES MAHAMA ON EDUCATION

The Communication Directorate of the Bawumia Campaign Team led by Dennis Miracles Aboagye in a Press Conference this afternoon which centred on the Future of Education in Ghana has revealed that there is a possible threat in our education sector should former President Mahama be allowed to take over power once again. According to Dennis Miracles, the future of Ghanaian youth rests on the quality of today’s education and for that matter, we cannot allow education to be bastardized by the politics of an incompetent presidential candidate who failed as a president.

The Bawumia campaign is disdained about the recent attacks on the credibility of WASSCE results and the intelligence of the students as well as the efforts of their teachers and parents by the presidential candidate of the opposition NDC and former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama. The Bawumia campaign team in their official presser believes that former President Mahama’s unnecessary attacks on our education causes reputational damage to our education globally.

Dennis Miracles Aboagye in his presser emphasized the position of the NPP and its presidential candidate. The team believes that the NPP and Dr. Bawumia has the future of Ghanaian youth at heart and are poised to render Ghana ready for the 4th industrial revolution which would be achieved in the possible Bawumia government starting January 2025.
