The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described as amateurish and misguided civilian coup by the Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho.
Mr Anyidoho was arrested today (Tuesday) by the police after he said in an interview with an Accra-based Happy FM that there will be a civilian coup to remove the Akufof-Addo’s government following the ratification of the US-Ghana military pact by Parliament on Friday March 24, 2018.
‘The NPP as a party unreservedly condemns this reckless, amateurish, and misguided statement from Mr. Anyidoho, especially judging from his background as a former presidential spokesperson for former President John Evans Atta Mills, who was hailed by all as a peace-loving personality,’ a statement signed by National Youth Organizer of NPP Sammy Awuku said.
The NPP called on the security agencies to be on the alert ‘because there is no smoke without fire’.
The NDC and some other groups will on Wednesday embark on a demonstration against the military pact.
‘The security network must be on high alert on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 since the NDC is bent on using the demonstration to destabilize the country. We will resist any attempt by the opposition NDC to make Ghana ungovernable’, the statement added.

NPP CONDEMNS RECKLESS STATEMENT OF KOKU ANYIDOHO
It has come to the notice of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that the Deputy General Secretary of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho is inciting Ghanaians to revolt against the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The NDC loose-talker in an interview with Accra-based Happy FM was emphatic that a nationwide demonstration under the sole sponsorship of his party and being led by the Ghana First Patriotic Front (GFPF) is the beginning of activities to stage a coup d’etat against the NPP government which was democratically elected in 2016.
The NPP as a party unreservedly condemns this reckless, amateurish, and misguided statement from Mr. Anyidoho, especially judging from his background as a former presidential spokesperson for former President John Evans Atta Mills, who was hailed by all as a peace-loving personality.
We call on the security agencies to be on the alert because there is no smoke without fire. The police should invite Mr Anyidoho over his treasonable comments and inciting Ghanaians to forcibly remove a democratically elected government.
We call on all Ghanaians to condemn this reckless statement of Mr. Anyidoho because 25 years of uninterrupted democratic rule under the Fourth Republic did not come cheap.
We must guard our democracy jealously and must not allow any disappointed and peeved Politician feeling the pinch of being in opposition to take our destiny for granted.
The security network must be on high alert on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 since the NDC is bent on using the demonstration to destabilize the country. We will resist any attempt by the opposition NDC to make Ghana ungovernable.
The rule of law must work and everyone must respect the law. Ghanaians voted massively for President Akufo-Addo to rule for four years and we must respect that.
If the NDC has alternate views on how this nation should be governed, there are constitutional avenues for doing so, other than inciting the citizenry to a coup d’etat.
Anyone who will dare disturb the enviable peace and order in Ghana will be met squarely.
Ghana First
…Signed….
Sammy Awuku
(National Youth Organizer)
