More quotes by Akwasi Addai Odike

This is not treason because I have not said I am the one going to carry out a coup.

You are being hypocritical, you allowed someone else to estimate how many Ghanaians would support a coup, yet you are asking me to retract my statement.

“The way Ghana is going, if any soldier decides to take up arms, I will support the person. I have said it, and anyone who does not like it can have me arrested.”

If you look at the architectural structure of the 1992 constitution, it has given all the powers to the president which in real terms gives the country to a small group of people to rule.

If we want to make a difference, then these party systems will not help us; they bring division, war, selfishness, and people prioritising their party over the country. That is what is happening, and it is not helping.
