Former Central Regional chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Allotey Jacobs has made an interesting remarks about the national chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah

According to Allotey Jacobs, Asiedu Nketiah popularly known as General Mosquito one of the richest politicians in Ghana up to date.

"Asiedu Nketiah is a rich politician. He has monies that others don't have so he shouldn't sit on radio make such remarks. He is one of the richest Ghanaian politicians. By virtue of his DNA, he doesn't grow big but he is loaded" he said on Accra based Angel FM.

Mr Allotey comments was a sharp response to earlier remarks by Asiedu Nketiah arguing that Ghana ready for a coup.

Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, earlier this week expressed apprehension about the state of Ghana’s democratic stability, primarily due to ongoing economic hardships.

During an interview on Joy News, he voiced concerns regarding the potential for political instability in the country.

Nketiah emphasised that the prevailing tolerance among Ghanaian citizens has been a crucial factor in preventing the nation from sliding into turmoil.

He also drew attention to Ghana’s historical instances of coups that were instigated by conditions less severe than the current economic challenges.

“Ghana is more than ripe for a coup d’état, but the only thing that is saving us is the tolerance of Ghanaians.

“If you look at our history, you will see that the things that have led to previous coup d’états in this country were even less than what is happening now. But the only thing that is saving us is tolerance and our collective history,” myjoyonline.com quoted him as saying.

But this remarks doesn't sit well with lot of Ghanaians including Allotey Jacobs who argued that he understands why a national chairman of the leading opposition party in Ghana will call for coup.

"He has been a beneficiary of coups in Ghana, in 1981. I was victim of that coup and I saw people suffered. How many people have you helped that you are saying Ghana is ripe for a coup. Instead you giving hope to people this what you saying". he added
