Ghanaian political figure Dr George Oti Bonsu has revealed that he has received death threats allegedly from members of the New Patriotic Party, forcing him to step back from publicly commenting on the party.
In a strongly worded statement, Dr Oti Bonsu said concerns for his personal safety have now taken priority over political engagement.
According to him, the threats have become serious enough to warrant silence on matters relating to the NPP.
“I have received death threats from members of the NPP, and for my own safety, I will no longer comment on them,” he stated.
His revelation has sparked concern among political observers and the public, raising questions about the level of intolerance and hostility within Ghana’s political discourse.
Many have called for calm and urged political actors to ensure disagreements do not escalate into threats or intimidation.
While the New Patriotic Party has not officially responded to the allegation, the situation adds to ongoing conversations about political safety, freedom of expression, and the need for civility in national debates.
Dr Oti Bonsu’s decision to withdraw from commentary underscores the potential risks faced by outspoken individuals in the political space, especially when tensions run high.
As reactions continue to pour in, there are growing calls for authorities to investigate the claims and ensure that all individuals, regardless of political affiliation, can express their views without fear.
