I Will Taunt With Coup Till You’re Paranoid – Barker-Vormwor Warns Politicians

Oliver Mawusi Barker-Vormawor, the convener of the #FixTheCountry movement, has declared his intention to continue challenging Ghana’s political establishment by provocatively mentioning the idea of a coup d’état.

The activist believes that the mere mention of a coup is the one thing that unsettles the 4th Republic Ghanaian politicians.

He expressed his perspective by saying, “When I talk about taking legal action, they dismiss it as they control the courts. When I talk about organizing protests, they dismiss it as they control the police. When I talk about revolution, they dismiss it as the people are disorganized. But when I mention a coup, they arrest me. Why? Now that I see it’s the only thing that makes you anxious, I’ll continue to mock you corrupt individuals with coup references until the people gather their strength and rise up! Or until you develop high blood pressure from constant worry.”

Barker-Vormawor faces accusations of plotting to overthrow the government and has been charged with treason felony. His arrest in February 2022 was based on a social media post that the police investigators interpreted as containing a direct expression of intent to subvert the country’s constitution through a possible coup.

In recent times, there have been several coups in West Africa, sparking concerns about the potential spread of such events in the subregion. However, Ghana’s Defense Minister, Dominic Nitiwul, has firmly rejected any apprehensions about a military takeover in Ghana. He has emphasized that unlike other West African countries such as Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, Ghana’s Armed Forces are committed to upholding the constitution and would prioritize its defense rather than undermining it through a coup.
