"My brother some of those handlers if I get I will shoot them. I’m being very honest. When you go to that area they are not correct. The way some of them treated people, and I’m one of them, I’m one of those that felt really badly treated by them," he said.

In an interview on Accra-based Starr FM, the MP said "I don’t care, I can even call some names, they were too arrogant around the president. I mean…Stan Dogbe was one of them. You go to see the president, they will ask you to go through somebody like Stan Dogbe, and he will block you. For what reason? Do you know why the President asked the person to [come] see him? And there were instances where, his attitude to every party member was like it doesn’t matter who you are, who matters is the President."
Dr. Bawaana explained that the behaviour of Mr. Dogbe and some of his colleagues made former President Mahama unreachable to the grassroots of the party.
"They caused disenchantment between the president and people that could have been bringing in the right information from the ground. Party leaders had problems, where did this Stan Dogbe man come from? Where did he come from? Where did he come from?"
