Sad story....a PhD student who is old enough to understand that words matter but failed himself miserably. Self destruction because of arrogance, attention seeking, and quest to reap what he has not sow. He thought that Ghana is in 1970s where any 1diot can parade himself as a saviour of Ghanaians. Ghanaians will not follow you and only a pardon will safe you. Surprisingly, his research borders on governance.
But who says Ghana does not deserve an overthrow of its current constitution. If the politicians who know the constitution is not good and can change the constitution will not change it, it calls for some other means by the citizens, which under the current constitution is impossible without the willingness of the politicians. So the drum beat for coup is sounding and it’s only a matter of time.
The bane of Ghana’s problem is when non achievers who without politics would have failed woefully in life are hailed as heroes! It is only in Africa and Ghana! Tweaaa! Same group penned the 1992 constitution to defend their cronies.. a fraternity when you joined intellectual discussions based on facts and history are thrown to the dogs!
I know he is a toothless dog barking coup when he doesn't know what it takes to make it. His incitement of people and looking at the current climate of overthrows in West Africa makes His threat some sort of concern but everybody knows he didn't even know what he was talking of. Will plead with the state to show mercy
this is a man who is calling for fix the country. he wants the government to fix the economy, solve all problems but he does not want to introduce e-levy. he went to the uk. he saw how developed that country is. has he forgotten that, that country develop because of taxes
This guy, Mr. Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor, has disappointed me, and I have begun with consternation to doubt his competence and intellect as a Cambridge scholar. Then, he has the platform to speak and share his views with the electorate to effect a change of government, but not to incite a coup d'etat to overthrow the government. Given the current wind of military coups blowing in West Africa, this kind of provocation becomes a delibrated mischievous plot. And it is very disheartened to hear some dishonest intellectuals in Ghana trying hard to defend his abduction by the state security.
