Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah<\/strong><\/p>\n Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has described the coup comment made by the Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Ghana, Professor Raymond Atuguba as an attack on the country\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n Last Monday, the former aide to John Dramani Mahama, former President stated that Ghana is currently a fertile place for coup due to the nation\u2019s current economic condition.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do not want coup in this country but if we do not act quickly we may have one in our hands. There is one thing to do now, prevent coup in Ghana since the climate and the environment, national and immediate international, are conducive for one. We must compel the government to acknowledge the current economic mess, they mostly, and previous governments, to a larger extent.<\/p>\n \u201cGhana\u2019s economic problems started before Covid-19. On balance, Covid-19 was a good thing for Africa and Ghana.\u201d Professor Raymond Atuguba added.<\/p>\n Responding to the remarks by the Professor, Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah mentioned that Atuguba\u2019s comments are disappointing because, despite Covid-19, Ghana\u2019s current economic status is far better than the days of yesteryear when there was no global pandemic.<\/p>\n \u201cEven if they were worse, the Constitution provides legitimate means for advocating for and executing a change. For respected persons to be purporting that such conditions legitimise coups is a terrible attack on our democracy itself and should not be condoned,\u201d Kojo Oppong Nkrumah told Press men.<\/p>\n BY Vincent Kubi<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has described the coup comment made by the Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Ghana, Professor Raymond Atuguba as an attack on the country\u2019s democracy.
