Elvis Osei Mensah Dapaah explained that two reasons account for that, with the first being the issue of bad weather conditions.
The second one was the increased spate of doom prophecies that have been made against him.
"Based on the crash that happened, I have decided I might not board a plane again. Yesterday I drove all the way from Kumasi to Accra. This is all because I am afraid. The weather is bad and apart from that they are saying a lot of things. As I speak with you, the prophecies that are coming about Ahafo South West, my name is in there. If I don’t pray fervently there will be a by-election. And I am still praying. So for now, I will travel by road. Yesterday from Kumasi to Accra I spent seven hours," he told the interviewer.

Speaking in an interview on Mothers TV on Thursday, August 7, 2025, the MP said he felt uneasy throughout the flight, mainly due to the sound of the engine when it took off from Burma Camp in Accra.
He added that the helicopter also produced excessive vibrations, which raised serious safety concerns.
