Vice President of Imani Africa has hinted that the ruling NPP could lose votes of electorates listing their supposed shortfalls which he termed as ‘political sins’.
Kofi Bentil’s prediction comes after the whole country was thrown in a state of panic over the arrest of NDC firebrand Koku Anyidoho for making allegedly treasonous comment on Accra-based Happy FM.
He stated categorically that, the decision to arrest and detain Koku Anyidoho’s for two days was not right in the eyes of the law.
He also said that if the governing NPP thinks that the mass protests against the GH-US military pact was in the minority’s interest alone, they should be careful as it was a move which indicates a national rejection.
“Think wrongly that the demo against US agreement was an NDC demo! It was a national rejection. Take heed,” he warned in a Facebook post.
Koku Anyidoho was arrested Tuesday afternoon for allegedly making treasonous remarks on Accra-based Happy FM.
He had said on air that, president Nana Akufo-Addo will be overthrown just like his father was in 1972.
“On January 13, 1972, a certain Col. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong led a movement that removed the Progress Party from power. Busia was the Prime Minister and Akufo-Addo’s father was a ceremonial president. Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself. There’ll be a civil revolt,” Mr Anyidoho said in an interview.
He has since been charged with treason and will be arraigned before court.
By law the police have 48 hours within which to keep a suspect after which they must proceed to court to ask for remand if they still want to keep the suspect.
Thursday afternoon is 48 hours, since Anyidoho was arrested in dramatic fashion at the International Press Centre.

BENTIL, YOU CAN GO TO HELLL!!!!!***barred word*** YOU!!!!
chicken black will remain black and an idioooot will still be an idiooot no matter what. those who contribute should analyze what kofi said and think through, we should stop our akward and kokoase comments if we don't understand. akuffo has an all inclusive family government and ***barred word*** supporters dont see it. ghana is for ghanaians and not for inward looking kokoase intellectuals. 20 miilion to sign an agreement is just not right and only idioots and small minded supporters will justify. All the american were in ghana before akuffo adoo was elected president. Akuffo did not bring shiiit only deceipt
The US gave Ghana $1billion a couple of years ago of which some was used to construct part of N1. The US left another $500million for ECG restructuring. America gave us AGOA(i am sure some are too dumb to know what this is) America helped us build the Akosombo dam. The US ambassador said that, they will invest $20million in Ghana Military in 2018. They will also leave behind most of the equipment after the training for the Ghana military. Do you know that the US gave Ghana Naval ships for free? Stop the ignorance NDC. Watch and see the number of American companies who will come to Ghana as result of confidence in Ghana after this agreement. ExxonMobil(number 2 US company) is coming, Royal Caribbean is coming. HESS is here, Cargill is here already and a lot more. Marriot, Holiday Inn, Best Western are all American. Think about the direct and indirect employment as a result of this. Royal Caribbean will contribute immensely to cultural tourism, art centre and art craft industry. This can only be good for Ghana. America has its own faults but this is a good deal for Ghana.
Massa; I thought this Kojo Bentil was an intelligent lawyer and a shrewd political commentator who uses facts and figures for his analysis ; how could you use Koku's comments as basis to say the NPP will lose the next election in three years time ;Yes !!!!!Nana Addo is making some unpardonable and grave mistakes in his government with this frineds ; incompetent relatives ; girlfrineds government but Ghanaians are NO fulls to bring back NDC back to power for 2020 ; the fact is that the NDC lost the last election with a massive ! million votes; the fact is that everybody saw and heard the massive stilling by Jon Mahama and the NDC ; just examine the COCOBOD expose in court ;Abuga Pele is in prison and there are a lot of stilling cases by Jon Mahama and the NDC to come to court ; how can the NDc suddenly wipe out a million votes within the next 3 years ; Mr Bentil don't be an idiotic full because NDC will NEVER COME TO POWER IN GHANA MAY TILL 2024 .
IS THIS BENTIL SAYING THAT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO REVOLT AGAINST ELECTED GOVERNMENT IS NOT A SIN, BUT TO ARREST IS RATHER A SIN? YOUR PARTY WILL NEVER COME BACK TO POWER IN 2020, MAY GOD FORBIDS.
Kofi Nono
Is Kofi Bentil now a prophet? Kofi for your information with God on our side NPP will never loose power come 2020.We aren't Arrogant and we will not corrupt the system.We are a listing Gov't.We were only doing what the constitution says.The laws of the state is now working
In Koku's own mouth,he says Ghana is working again,due to how he was treated by CID official,contrary to what he knows.Big shame on you,Kofi Bentil.
Must everyone support NPP even when evidently things are not working.
Lawyer Bentil we have read and heard your message but one of them is strange to come from you as lover of democracy. Are you saying Koku shouldn't have been arrested for that ***barred word*** ***barred word***? So the police should have also kept mute and not do anything about this threat to our democracy? Please you are too good to descend this low especially with regards to Koku arrest. Correct me if I am wrong....was Koku kept in detention beyond the stipulated constitutional 48hrs? Hmmm!
