He has been vocal in his criticisms of the government, particularly regarding issues such as illegal mining, known as galamsey, which he claims has worsened under President John Dramani Mahama's administration. Ahiagbah has raised concerns about the presence of armed groups in Ghana's forest reserves, alleging that the government has failed to take adequate action to protect the environment and restore control over these areas.
