Abronye fuels Malik Basintale stroke rumours
Basintale's mention of a stroke in the UK and Chica's description of NPP as liars seemed to be a jab at rumourmongers who claimed that the YEA CEO had fallen critically ill.
A few days ago, some X accounts associated with the opposition party had started sharing posts suggesting that he had suffered a stroke and had been flown to the UK.
On Friday, November 14, 2025, Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, aka Abronye DC, deepened the rumours claiming that Basintale was sick and was receiving treatment abroad.
Speaking on The Evidence Show on his Ohia TV on Facebook, Abronye stated that Basintale had not been feeling well for about one month now and had been flown to the UK.
He noted that even though Malik Basintale belonged to a different political party, he would not jubilate about him not feeling well and prayed for his recovery.
Watch Abronye's Basintale video below (his claims about Basintale being ill begin around the 1:06:00 mark)
About 48 hours after Abronye's video, Malik Basintale shared a post on Facebook denying the rumours.
He described the rumours as false news, stating that he was neither down with a stroke nor in the UK for treatment.
