John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has emphasised the importance of Ghanaians upholding the constitution and refraining from sponsoring a potential coup in Ghana.
Despite the country’s present economic woes, the former president of the republic stated that a coup should not be considered at all.
Addressing the Conference of Regional Imams of Ghana during the 3rd National Conference of Imams in Kumasi, the NDC candidate criticised Akufo-Addo for failing to address Ghanaians’ problems.
“We told NPP the path they were taking was dangerous but our advice fell on deaf ears. And that is the reason we are where we are today and we are all facing the challenges. So we all have to help out and get out of this mess. But we would have to adhere to constitutional governance so that we are not swayed by the alternative of coups.”
“We should know that no matter the hardship there will be the opportunity for an election for different people to be elected. It is only left with a year for us to say goodbye to some people and welcome others who can fix the economy. So let’s continue respecting the Constitution. We should never think of coups and everything will be fine,” he stated.
Suallah Abdallah Quandah, Executive Secretary of the Conference of Regional Imams of Ghana, for his part, recommended the government to put in place measures to solve the pressing issues of Ghanaians and thus prevent any potential demands for a coup.
