Coups d'etat are, by definition bad for any country in the world. Living under a bad democratic leader is said to be preferable to living under a coup d'etat. There are numerous African countries from which we can learn.
Our history is littered with dark days of coups and horrifying stories. There have been talks about coups on our media landscape recently.
This call for a coup is not only common during the current administration, but also during the Mahama administration. In this article, we will look at how these regimes responded to these calls.
Reaction to Budu Koomson calls for a coup during the Mahama Administration
Captain Budu Koomson, a retired army officer in Ghana's Armed Forces, stated in 2013 that he believed the country's prevailing conditions made a coup d'etat imminent.
This is according to him was due to "the blatant abuse of state wealth by political operatives can trigger something like this, coupled with the political stalemate in society." The BNI invited him for questioning on the matter.
IMANI Africa objected to the invitation, claiming that he was only participating in an academic exercise.
Reactions to Oliver and Atuguba's comments on a coup.
Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor, who made stamen promising to organize a coup if the E-levy was passed, was arrested at the airport upon his return to the country and is still seeking bail.
Many people have condemned his comments, but are equally dissatisfied with the decision to deny him bail.
Professor Atugubu, who sparked outrage in Ghana with a remark similar to Budu Koomson's, has not been arrested or summoned for questioning.
Leading members of the ruling party, however, are calling for his arrest and possible dismissal from his position as a lecturer.
The President has stated unequivocally that his administration will deal with coup mongers in accordance with the law.
However, according to Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe, the current President, prior to the 2016 elections, made a statement to the effect that the employment situation in Ghana at the time could bring the Arab Spring to Ghana during a meeting with the Ghanaian community in Germany.
Mr. Tamakloe questioned why Nana Addo could not accommodate people who made comments similar to those he made in 2016.
