Busia claimed 1966 Coup success

The Ghana Palaver says some latter-day 'radio' politicians, have been attempting to separate the Busia regime from that of the military National Liberation Council (NLC), which ruled the country, with an iron hand, after the overthrow of the First Republic.

However, it is a historical fact that after the overthrow of Nkrumah, without waiting for the new regime to entrench its position, Dr K.A. Busia rushed to Ghana to lay a claim as the "sole" beneficiary of the coup.

Even as chief adviser, Busia remained edgy until an election was arranged for him to come to power.

Naturally, those who suffered various degrees of injustice under the NLC regime cannot feel comfortable when left out in any move towards reconciliation among all factions.
