In his official Facebook post on May 20, 2026, Aboagye argued that the government deliberately misled depositors into voting against the previous administration, which had already paid over 96% of them.
He wrote: “You deceived these guys to vote for you against the govt who had paid over 96% of them. Your promise was emphatic, ‘I will pay you in the first year.’”
According to Aboagye, the NDC’s failure to fulfill its emphatic promise has left depositors disillusioned and betrayed.
He described the situation as yet another example of how the current government has scammed citizens, adding to the growing list of unfulfilled commitments.
The issue of depositors’ funds has been a recurring theme in Ghana’s political discourse, with successive governments facing pressure to resolve the crisis.
Aboagye’s statement highlights the frustration of many who feel that the NDC capitalized on their plight during the campaign but has failed to deliver meaningful relief since assuming office.
Observers note that this criticism reflects a broader narrative of dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of economic issues.
Rising costs of living, unemployment, and broken promises have fueled discontent, and the depositors’ case has become symbolic of the administration’s perceived failures.
Aboagye’s remarks also underscore the political stakes involved. By framing the NDC’s actions as deception, he is reinforcing the opposition’s argument that the government cannot be trusted to honor its commitments.
This narrative is likely to resonate with affected depositors and their families, who continue to demand accountability.
The controversy further illustrates the importance of credibility in governance. When promises are made emphatically and tied to electoral campaigns, failure to deliver can erode public trust and legitimacy.
For Aboagye, the depositors’ plight is not just an economic issue but a moral one, exposing what he describes as the government’s betrayal of its own citizens.
