'Nothing On Earth Is As Important As Life' - Charles Owusu Rebukes Ghanaians Calling For Coup

Former Head of Monitoring at the Forestry Commission, Charles Owusu, has castigated the Ghanaians calling for a coup d'état to happen in Ghana.

On Sunday, September 5, 2021, a Military unit led by a former French legionnaire, Lt Col Mamady Doumbouya took over the reins of the People’s Republic of Guinea.

The Military unit calling themselves the National Committee for Reconciliation and Development detained the country's President Alpha Condé and reportedly dissolved the constitution.

After news broke about the Guinean coup, some Ghanaians took to social media complimenting the Military and hoping for a similar fate in Ghana.

A principal person quoted to be in support of a coup in Ghana is the leader of the "Fix the Country" movement, Barker-Vormaqor, who posted on his Facebook page saying “Neho! I welcome the news of a military coup in Guinea. Still waiting on confirmation of its success. Hopefully a new transition process is put in place quickly. Guinea shall work again”.

Contributing to Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', Charles Owusu was utterly shocked that any Ghanaian would call for a coup.

He reminded such people of the repercussions of staging a coup in a country stressing "there's no way you can capture a sitting President without casualties. Even civilians will die...but yet still we have people living in this country who, because their party isn't in power and others who haven't obtained what they're seeking for, so they are wishing that it is possible that a coup could happen in Ghana. That is the language of other people. It's sad!"

He offered an advice to Ghanaians saying, "what we can't use money to buy, we can't use power or money to protect it. That's life; nothing on earth is important than it. Your legacy in the world is your life''.
