“wEllington” not Willington.

Major-General Odartey-Wellington. Brave man - stood up for what he believed was right. We needed just a few people like him, to have saved Ghana from what we have today. May He RIP.

No wonder the rainfall and flooding. Ama Ghana is still crying due to the inflictions on her 47 years ago, and the party that inflicted the pain is in power, and still inflicting pain on her children.

June 4th revolution is indeed the beginning of Ghana's destruction and what has created this criminal organization called the NDC PARTY today. This was indeed the beginning of Ghana's DOOMSDAY. Why should June 4th revolution be celebrated in Ghana today considering the destruction of lives and properties caused to Ghanaians? What actually did we achieve from the wanton destruction caused? John Jerry Rawlings is the cause of Ghana's woes with his numerous useless revolution s.

Yes, what did we achieve as a nation from that useless so-called "Uprising" that was hatched by some disgruntled soldiers as if they were begged to join the military?

JJ thought that with gun, he can make Ghana a nation without any blemish. Even God could not achieve that according to the Bible when the entire world was flooded due sins by humans.

Ghana was destroyed by JJ, and I don't care what his stupid lovers says because when that fool staged his coup, I was working meaning I was old enough to see or witness anything that took place during those unforgettable days in our history.

JJ should have rotted on his bed with maggots before breathing his breath but. Most Ghanaians fled to other countries due to JJ because he thought that senseless killings could solved all the problems in Ghana.

Imagine how he accused Colonel Roger Feli, who took a loan from a bank in Ghana citing corruption, and his stupid and ignorant supporters were jubilating about that.

Odartey wellington never fired any weapons on June 4th. He wasn out of his elements asking the mutineers to meet for a meeting as if it was a family meeting to discuss responsibilities. He went to Nina to use their comms as the military cooms had been compromised.

Where was General Hamidu during all this? Wasn't he the CDS? June 4th should be blamed on Gen Akuffo and his inept overly ambitious bunch, who toppled Kutu and couldn't contain the armed forces and basicaly caused this bloody revolt in just under a year. Hamid was the main force behind the executions especially Afrifa and Kutu. The rest were just collateral damage unfortunately

Democracy in Ghana
Democracy Playbook: 7 Pillars to Defend Democracy
1. Protect elections = Steal Elections
2. Defend rule of law = Own the judicial system
3. Fight corruption = Steal from taxpayers
4. Reinforce civic and media space = Own them
5. Protect pluralistic governance = Keep the uni-party alive
6. Counter Disinformation = Censor, baby, censor
7. Make democracy deliver = Establish a permanent ruling class and subjugate all others
