People Who Don’t Vote Need To Be Flogged – Koku Anyidoho

Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Atta-Mills Institute, Koku Anyidoho has stated that persons who refuse to vote have no moral right to complain and criticise a government .

Speaking on Happy FM he said, citizens have the obligation to choose who rules over them and they must exercise that civic responsibility.

“People should go and register. I meet people and they say ‘I’ve never voted before’. I say ‘you’ve never voted before but you’re complaining about hardship. You should be sent to the Accra Sports stadium and flogged,” he said.

He added, “You’ve never voted and you’re complaining. Who are you complaining to? Go and vote and give yourself a voice in the choice of who leads this nation.”

He further commended President Akufo Addo for his decisive leadership in directing party communicators to abstain from politics of insult.

He stressed that since President Akufo Addo’s directive, New Patriotic Party communicators have stopped insulting Vice Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang.

“President Akufo-Addo was in self-isolation. When people from his party were insulting Prof Naana Jane, he zoomed in from isolation and he warned his front-line communicators not to go on the insult tangent; they should stay on message. When that happened, I’ve not heard anybody insult the woman again. Decisive leadership,” he said.
