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.

Ndc u will cry aaaaaaaaaaaaa. Foooooiilish some
You just a fooooooooooooooool!
Oh so becuase kofi bentil did not say koku is crazy, what he said doesn't make sense?
What do u think can be happening if he was not arrested over that treacherous talk.u can imagine impunity which can go on to repel investors. Bentil, u are not that intelligent
What is wrong with some of you. Because you think NPP has employed more teachers than NDC did, you think that is the basis for GHANA USA deal? Amazing! Are you married to a mad woman? Have you read the agreement carefully?
When those who supported us in the last election are cautioning us, then we need to pay atte nation. As a party member, I have heard a lot of people condemn the deal, even many of our supporters don't like the deal. One guy form abura dunkwa told me if the deal is not renegotiated, where our sovereignty is protected he will surely vote against us. God has his own way of preventing things, that was why koku made that blunder. But for the blunder of koku, I believe the demonstration could have be a mammoth one that could cause confusion. The use of teargas, water cannon and rubber bullets to disperse the NDC crowed at the police headquarters intimated a lot of people who wanted to join the demonstration. Once again nana addo should be careful.
That is poor sense of judgement. Majority of the public is not happy about his talk. NPP is doing well. In less than 2 years, they have Employed more teachers than ndc 8 years in government. The free education and restoration of allowances alone will always win them power, they will definitely do more.Are u still with imani? Your boss says Anyidoho is crazy
