Host of Peace FM's flagship programme "Kokrokoo", Kwami Sefa Kayi together with former Central Region chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Allotey Jacobs, have condemned the recent remarks made by the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.Speaking to the media, the chairman of the NDC suggested that Ghana was ripe for a coup d'état and that what prevented the nation from descending into chaos was the remarkable tolerance exhibited by its citizens.

He elaborated by pointing out historical instances where the conditions leading to previous coups were arguably less severe than the current situation.

“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 the tolerance and our collective history,” he added.

However, Kwami Sefa Kayi has expressed deep concern regarding Asiedu Nketia's comments characterizing them as "irresponsible"

"I am not saying ABC news is irresponsible but whoever made that statement.The person who made that statement is a beneficiary of the coup d'état," he stated.

He rather emphasized the need for political leaders to exercise restraint and responsibility when making public statements.

Adding his voice to the criticism, Allotey Jacobs, rebuked Asiedu Nketia's statements as baseless and detrimental to the country's political climate.

Mr Jacobs stressed the significance of maintaining a healthy and constructive political environment, urging leaders to focus on issues of substance that truly matter to the citizens.

"As a national chairman of a major opposition party, and you say Ghana is ripe for a coup d'état. I have personally lived through a coup experience, notably the events leading to the 31st December coup in 1981. At that time, the youth wing of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) was actively opposing President Hilla Limann's government. It's noteworthy that the same sentiments and statements made during that period eventually culminated in the 31st December coup. What's even more striking is that some of the very individuals who were once part of the group opposing the government ended up holding key positions within the PNDC government," he stated.

He emphasized the importance of vigilance within the military high command, since such a scenario is unwelcome in contemporary Ghana, particularly under the context of the 4th republic.

"All I can say is the military high command should be on the lookout maybe this is a singnal because we do not need this in our modern day Ghana under our 4th republic, for a national chairman for a major party to make such statements," he indicated.
