New Patriotic Party (NPP) activist, Dr Arthur Kennedy says as a country we should be careful about cause and effect because coups are not planned on radio.
Speaking on Prof Atuguba's coup comments, he said we are rather missing the chance to discuss the real issues raised by the Professor.
"I think we should be careful about cause and effect. People who plan coups do not plan on radio. The sad bit of all this hysteria is that we are missing a chance to talk about the issues that matter. They are instead discussing Prof. Atuguba instead of the message he shared."
Prof Appiagyei-Atua also advised government officials and the police to find a better way of handling the issues because they seem to be blowing it out of proportion.
"I think it is the government's official who are blowing these coup comments out of proportion. The more they talk about it, the more people get agitated."
Background
Dean of the University of Ghana School of Law, Prof. Raymond Atuguba, expressed his fear that Ghana may have a coup on its hands if urgent action is not taken by the state.
“We do not want a coup in this country. Yet I fear that if we do not act quickly, we may have one in our hands very soon,” he said while delivering a lecture in Accra.
There are two different trials ongoing against persons charged with treason-related offences.
A section of the public had suggested that talks about coup d’etats must be taken seriously and dealt with, while others have indicated their fear that it may be imminent.
