But the Chief Executive Officer of the Atta Mills Institute has called on all to disregard the news publication with the headline ‘NDC betrayed me – Koku Anyidoho speaks’.
Taking to his facebook page to debunk the earlier report, Mr Anyidoho said “ this is an extremely fake headline and badly written story which must be treated with contempt that it deserves.

“On January 13, 1972, a certain Col. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong led a movement that removed the Progress Party from power. Busia was the Prime Minister and Akufo-Addo’s father was a ceremonial president. Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself. There’ll be a civil revolt,” Mr Anyidoho said.
His comment was condemned by political commentators.
About 20 heavily armed police personnel besieged the International Press Centre and arrested Koku Anyidoho leading to his detention, charge and later release.
