National Youth Coordinator of the Progressive
People’s Party (PPP), Divine Nkrumah has stated that he would have organized a
coup to seize power from the incompetent Mahama led administration if not for
our constitutional rule that we currently practice.The outspoken
politician in an interview with Kwabena Agyapong on Eboboba on Rainbow Radio
87.5Fm posited that, the situations which led to the various coups in the past
before Ghana adopted a constitutional rule are rift under President Mahama’s
government.
He indicated that government is currently using various state
institutions to intimidate the PPP and its presidential candidate, Dr. Papa
Kwesi Nduom because he remains a threat to the National Democratic Congress
(NDC).
He lambasted the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) for
allowing itself to be used to intimidate them by inviting Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom
to disclose the source of the GHC 1.7million cedis which he used as filing fees
for parliamentary candidates and himself.
He described the move as
selective justice, bogus and unwarranted when the institution has failed to
investigate the former Transport Minister, Dzifa Attivor over the bus
re-branding saga and also failing to chase businessman, Alfred Woyome over the
payment of the GH¢51 million paid him.
Divine Nkrumah who appeared
furious said the party cannot be intimidated by anyone or a party including the
NDC.
A communication team member of the NDC who was on the same show
chided Divine Nkrumah over his claims and distanced the NDC and government from
the allegations. Winfred Zoryiku said EOCO is an independent institution that
cannot be influenced by any individual or government.
