Abronye fuels Malik Basintale stroke rumours
In the middle of November 2025, some X accounts associated with the opposition party had shared posts suggesting that he had suffered a stroke and had been flown to the UK.
Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, aka Abronye DC, deepened the rumours that Basintale was sick and was receiving treatment abroad.
Speaking on The Evidence Show on his Ohia TV on Facebook, Abronye stated that the YEA boss had not been feeling well for about one month now and had been flown to the UK.
Abronye noted that even though Malik Basintale belonged to a different Ghanaian political party, he would not jubilate about his not feeling well and also prayed for his recovery.

Malik Basintale laughs off stroke rumours
About 48 hours after Abronye's video, Basintale shared a post on Facebook denying the rumours.
He described them as false, stating that he was neither down with a stroke nor in the UK for treatment.
The YEA CEO later appeared in a new video with the Volta Regional YEA Director, Daniel Hamenu, teasing those spreading the rumours that he had suffered a stroke and having a good laugh.
With his hand wrapped around Hamenu, who is also known as Chica, Basintale pointed to him and said:
"So I'm with Chica here in the UK [Ghana UK], down with stroke."
The TikTok video of Basintale and Hamenu dismissing the stroke rumours is below:
While he stood on his feet looking hale and hearty, his prolonged absence from public view still raises doubts about the truth of his current condition.
