Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has urged the State not to dignify the buffoonery by the Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho with an arrest and charging him with treason.
Mr Anyidoho was arrested by the Police Tuesday and charged with treason after he declared that there will be civil coup to oust President Akufo Addo.
The former Director of Communications at the Presidency during the late President Mills’ regime in an interview with Happy FM Monday, served notice the PAkufo-Addo administration is likely to be overthrown similar to a coup d’état witnessed in 1972 against his father.
“Somebody should tell Nana Akufo Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself. On the 13th of January 1972, a certain Col. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong led an insurrection movement that removed the Progress Party in power. Busia was the Prime Minister, Akufo Addo’s father was the Ceremonial President. Somebody should tell Akufo Addo that history has a way of repeating itself, there will be a civil revolt, there’ll be a people movement. When President Mahama was in power, Let My Vote Count Alliance and OccupyGhana didn’t they say they’ll unsettle the government?
“There’ll be a civilian coup d’etate , there’ll be a social revolution. We’re starting on Wednesday, Akufo Addo will have a headache, he’ll experience stomach upset, he says he was to be President of this country, we’ll make sure he’s fed up at the Presidency.”
Mr Anyidoho was arrested by AK47 wielding CID Officers at the International Press Centre where the NDC had a press conference over the Ghana-US military deal.
Commenting on the issue on Peace FM Wednesday, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako urged the state to free Koku Anyidoho whom he described as an “empty barrel.”
“I would have loved if the gentleman was ignored, honestly I Kweku Baako my immediate take on the matter instinctively is to ignore this buffoonery. I’m not in charge of state security, I’n not part of the Police network so they perhaps based on the information they had, perception they had decided that let’s act. If I had opportunity to advise I would said he should be ignored. Koku Anyidoho is an empty barrel, his threat is so empty, it’s of public nuisance.”
