Abronye and Malik Basintale’s 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 NPP started sharing posts suggesting that Basintale 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 was not going to jubilate about him not feeling well and thus prayed for his recovery.

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.
