Koku Anyidoho, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Atta-Mills Institute, has described the late former President Jerry John Rawlings as a man of unquestionable integrity.
Contrary to opinions that the coup staged by the late Rawlings was not the best, he held a different opinion.
Appearing on ‘Stories of Life’ on Rainbow Radio 87.5 Fm, he said if you lived at the barracks in those days and witnessed what was happening, you would not have spoken against the coup.
He posited that if Ghanaians want to be truthful to themselves, the June 4 uprising came to save a situation.
He said that was the reason it was called a house-cleaning exercise.
Koku Anyidoho explained that the uprising was necessitated by the struggle between junior officers and senior officers in the military.
He said the uprising lasted for only three months, after which the late Rawlings handed over power to Liman after the aggrieved officers had achieved their goal.
He noted there were tough moments those days, and as a young student, he identified with Rawlings because of what he stood for.
