Former Deputy Minister for Employment and Labour Relation, Baba Jamal, has condemned comments made by the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho over an alleged coup threat.

The former NDC Member of Parliament for Akwatia, indicated that the statements by Mr, Anyidoho was regrettable and must be condemned by all.

Speaking in an interview on AtinkaFM, Baba Jamal  stated that Ghana has taken a path which must be followed diligently.

“I do not support coup d'état in any form; the statement is regrettable and must be condemned in the strongest terms,” he stated.  According to Baba Jamal, the NDC will resist any “coup d'état” attempt against the Akufo Addo administration.

The experience lawyer has however criticized the security services for the manner in which the arrest was handled, suggesting that they could have done better.

Koku's comments 

In an interview with Accra-based Happy FM, the NDC firebrand said: “Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself,” the NDC firebrand said.

“On the January 13, 1972 a certain Col. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong led a movement that removed the Progress Party from power. Busia was the Prime Minister and Akufo-Addo’s father was a ceremonial president. Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself.

“There’ll be a civil revolt. There’ll be a people’s movement. During President John Mahama’s tenure didn’t we receive similar threats from the likes of Let My Vote Count and OccupyGhana,” the former presidential spokesperson opined.
