Speaking in an interview on UTV's Adekye Nsrom show, Dr Bonsu claimed that he had been cautioned to desist from derailing the fortunes of the NPP with his newly formed party, The Base Movement.
However, he said he remains unperturbed by the threats to his life, adding that he is ready to sacrifice his life for The Base Movement to succeed.
"I have received a lot of threats that if I don't take care, they will kill me because I have been taking the NPP backwards. Some people have even come out publicly to say so. I don't want to talk about the NPP people but rather the Base party. If I even die and the Base party survives, I am okay with that," he said.

The Base Movement launched
Dr Oti Bonsu made these claims a few weeks after the official launch of The Base Movement
Out doored on Monday, April 20, 2026, the Base Movement will primarily focus on job creation for the youth and breaking the long-standing political dominance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The Base Movement is reportedly led by high-profile figures, including popular actor Agya Koo and Ignatius Kutu Acheampong.
Dr Oti Bonsu officially left the party in early 2026, citing a lack of hope and attractiveness within the party. He has since been a vocal critic of NPP leadership, including Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the party, and Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.
The key figures leading the Base Movement are all disgruntled members of the NPP, and this has given credence to allegations that the party was launched to ruin the fortunes of Dr Bawumia.
Addressing supporters of the party during the launch, Dr Bonsu said he would personally bot for any businessman who contests an election.
He cited the role of Ghanaian businessmen in reducing unemployment and addressing social challenges.
"In this country, if any businessman stands for any election, I will vote for that person. If Ibrahim Mahama, Kennedy Agyapong, or any businessman who can provide jobs for the youth contest, that persons should be supported," he stated.
