Politics of Wednesday, 8 September 2021Source: myxyzonline.comThe General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah, has revealed that the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has a hidden agenda to hold on to power after their constitutional tenure of office has expired. Coup and UnrestJantuah’s comments come after Guinean special forces seized power in a coup, arrested their president, Alpha Conde, and promised to change the country’s political architecture. The 82-year-old’s bid for a third term had been condemned by analysts and described as an abuse of power. Comparing the coup that has toppled Conde’s government in Guinea, Jantuah said ‘Breaking the 8’ is akin to holding on to power against the people’s wish. Agitations over bad leadership, impunity, corruption, illegal mining and joblessness in Ghana have swelled in the second term of Akufo-Addo.
