Former General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Samuel Koku Anyidoho has urged President Akufo-Addo not to pay heed to any calls for probe into the military invasion of Parliament on the dawn of January 7, 2021.
According to him, the invasion was acceptable and helped restore sanity into the house.
“His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo; please stay focused as the Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, and ignore any call for a probe into the acceptable move by the Military on, January 7, 2021. We are not in a Banana Republic.
“Is it not a matter of fact that, if sanity had not been restored in Parliament for the nation to have a Speaker, we would have hit a constitutional iceberg by not being able to swear-in the President? Let us stop being pedantic & fastidious just because of politics,” he shared in a series of post on his Twitter page.
When some MPs decided to chew ballot papers and act in un-parliamentary ways in the chamber of Parliament on the day we were expected to swear-in the President & Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, why should the military be blamed for stepping-in to restore sanity?” he stated.
