Abronye claims Malik Basintale is sick
On Friday, November 14, 2025, Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe a.k.a Abronye DC, deepened the rumour claiming that Basintale was sick and was receiving treatment abroad.
Speaking during The Evidence Show on his Ohia TV via Facebook, Abronye claimed that Basintale had not been feeling well for about one month now and had been flown to the UK.
He argued that even though Malik Basintale belonged to a different political party, he was not going to jubilate about him not feeling well and thus prayed for his recovery.
Abronye's claims in the video, which have been widely circulated online, have elicited a response from those close to Basintale.
