The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Shippers Authority (GSA), Professor Ransford Gyampo, has criticised New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator Dennis Miracles Aboagye over a statement made against him.

Describing Miracles as arrogant, Prof. Gyampo stated that such an attitude contributed to the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 elections.

According to him, he had hoped Miracles and other NPP members would learn from their loss and improve, but nothing seems to have changed.

“I thought after your long push into oblivion following your arrogance in public communications—which played a role in pushing your party into opposition—you would come back more sober and better refined to warm yourself into the hearts of Ghanaians. But it appears you haven’t learnt,” he wrote in a social media post.

Prof. Gyampo’s remarks follow claims by the former Director of Communication for the 2024 Bawumia Campaign Team, who alleged on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen that he was not surprised by Gyampo’s appointment, as he had actively lobbied for the role.

Miracles further claimed he had always known Gyampo to be a National Democratic Congress (NDC) member who served the party’s interests.

In response, Prof. Gyampo dismissed the claims in a Facebook post, stating that many respected figures within the NPP had urged him to “ceasefire” and focus on his role at GSA. However, he hinted at continuing his critiques of the NPP.

“Many of the guys you respect in your party have asked that I call a ceasefire, focus on my new task of protecting the interests of shippers, reducing the cost of doing business, and deepening international trade, and allow you to recuperate from the deadly knockout punches Ghanaians gave to you and your party.

“I was almost yielding to this call, but it appears I must revise my notes. I can multitask, so I will resume talking about your party to Ghanaians alongside my work. You and your party must show stamina as I go on this tangent. I have the stamina to withstand you and your party, so you too, talk about me to Ghanaians and let’s see who gets listened to,” he added.
