Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a former Spokesperson of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has laid bare a deeply personal and emotional part of his life, disclosing that he grew up never knowing his biological father.
In a revealing interview on The Upside Down Show on Channel One TV, Aboagye recounted how the absence of his father cast a long shadow over his childhood, and how that void shaped his emotional development.
“I never met my dad. I don’t know what happened, but at some point in my life, I had to ask,” he shared, recalling the moment he began to question his own story. “The environment in which I grew up, everybody was a child’s parent. But I think at a point, I remember asking.”
He described the heartache of watching classmates at school events being cheered on by their fathers, while he stood alone, without the comfort or encouragement of a paternal presence.
According to Aboagye, the man who fathered him vanished from the picture from day one, leaving his mother to shoulder the weight of parenting without help.
“It only happened that the man who is supposed to be my father did not take responsibility when I was born. So, she single-handedly took up my growing,” he said, speaking with visible admiration for the strength of his mother.
Aboagye explained that he never saw a photograph, never heard a voice, and never had an encounter with the man who helped bring him into the world—until fate intervened decades later.
“It was about last year in August or September that I met his obituary poster,” he revealed, referencing the first and only time he learned anything concrete about his father.
Despite the emotional weight of that discovery, Aboagye’s reflections were not bitter. Instead, he expressed profound gratitude for the woman who raised him and the community that stood in the gap.
His story is one of resilience, loss, and the power of a mother’s love—an intimate window into the life of a public figure whose roots are anchored not in privilege, but in perseverance.
