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.

Folks,is winning an election the only thing that matters in Ghanaian politics?We will never make any progress if we do not allow leaders who at least show promise and have good intentions to work in peace.Nana Addo inherited an economy that had been mismanaged for years,a public purse that has been ravished by selfish ***barred word*** people We all have to give this man our support so he can succeed,because his success will be our success. Enough of all these so called intellectuals predicting doom for the country.If some fat out of job politician decides to spew treasonable material to poison the air he should be stopped pronto. Enough of this intellectual dishonesty.
IF ANYTHING HAPPENS IN GHANA, THE SAME STUPIDDD PEOPLE LIKE KOFI BENTIL WILL COME AROUND TO ACCUSE THE SECURITY FORCES FOR DOING NOTHING WHEN KOKU ACTION WAS AN INDICATION TO PROPAGATE CHAOS AND EVIL IN THE COUNTRY. AGAIN LIKE KOFI BENTIL, KWASI PRATT ALWAYS CLAIM NKRUMAH WAS REMOVED BY CIA. AND IF THAT WAS TRUE WAS IT NOT BECAUSE NKRUMAH UNWISELY CHOSE THE ENEMIES OF AMERICA AS FRIENDS AND GOT INTO ALLIANCES AND AGREEMENTS WHICH WERE OFFENSIVE TO AMERICAN INTEREST. WE LIVE IN THE WORLD WHERE NO COUNTRY IS ISOLATED. LIFE IF GIVE AND TAKE. GHANA GETS SO MUCH HELP FROM AMERICA IN MANY AREAS OF LIFE. COME AND LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF GHANAIANS IN AMERICA. THINK OF HOW MUCH THEY BRING HOME AS REMITTANCE. AND NO GHANAIAN LIVING IN AMERICA, EXCEPT CRIMINALS, HAS NO PROBLEMS TO MAKE LIFE GOOD. IF GHANA HAS HALF THE DISCIPLINE OF AMERICA WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN SUCH A MESS. STOP THE NONSESE AND BEGIN TO THINK RIGHT. MANY OF THE SO CALLED INTELLECTUALS IN GHANA LACK WISDOM AND CANNOT BE STRATEGIC IN THINKING.
Instead of looking or drawing a business plan to source fund to operate the Komenda Sugar factory you going about looking for NPP’s downfall. Nation wreckers.
Every person on this earth has an opinion,except of course those who are brain dead. So a lawyer expresses an opinion.So what? Trust me MOST Ghanaians don't know what is in that agreement Most of those who know don't care 2 hoots about it. I bet 9 out of every 10 NDC supporters who went on that demonstration do not KNOW what is in that agreement.This agreement has existed for years and the Americans have been in our midst for years .The demons in NDC are always looking for an excuse to march.So let them march. Nana should just focus on his job.Come 2020 trust me Ghanaians are not going to vote based whether Americans are in Bundase training with our troops or whether they digging a tunnel under our airport. They will determine if their lives are better after those horrible years under the th13f par excellence Mahama.That is what will determine how they vote.As for Anyidoho ;After making those comments what was government supposed to do. Invite him for coffee?
The senseless must learn from what Gibbie has said
Educated , “EBUSUFO”: you always wish bad for the UGCC/UP TRADITION, which has on record to have been the party that governs on human rights and prudent economic management. The tribalistic and barbaric NDC government can never triumph over the good and genuinely God fearing people’s NPP, again. Mark it on the wall.
Bentil is the most intelligent lawyer. More intelligent than all lawyers in Ghana or npp. Don't blame the media, blame the Ghanaian who is unintelligent like like the corrupt ndc person. Opposition for 16 years
Well Mr. you don't come across as a very sharp guy. The other guy before you was better. the arrest of Koku rather hyped the demo. Don't you think as a nation, this kind of high profile people talking loosely has got to stop somewhere? With this done to Koku, NPP guys will be warned of such act. Ghanaians are happy.We allowed Ken Agyapong, Montie3 and now Koku. Where does it end? Please think. I don't think the police went out to beat people but why were they blocking such a major road at such a peak hour. imagine if you were caught in that traffic while catching a flight or some business? All because of Koku.
This is not coming from Bentil. This is from ndc. They are like snakes, more than the devvvil, opposition forever, propaganda nkoaaa
it's erroneous for our media to always think that some people's voices are authoritative in our society and so they give their platform to them to make all sorts sentences and we are asked to read. Mr. Bentil is a lawyer just we have lawyers also great lawyers in govt and he thinks those lawyers did not do any good work? Pls it's time we stop all these "i know it all attitude".
