Akuffo ended the SMC government to allow for elections to take place, so his taking over from Acheampong wasnt a coup, as much as an end to the coup. Boakye Gyan's argument is BS. The executions were done because those were the leaders of the regime at who the murderous rage of June 4th was turned. Had they not been sacrificed, the soldiers would have continued taking intiative and turning their anger against market women, and anyone they held responsible. So the AFRC had to make choices. But see, Boakye Gyan needs that excuse to make Rawlings seem to have betrayed his own principles by coming back in 1981. This is how these people lie. What they all have in common, is power they believed THEY should have, that they were not given, and that they now would rip into Rawlings for having had.

I lived through that era and therefore witnessed the worst of human nature in times of crisis. Rawlings would remain as the most wicked man who ever existed in Ghana.His so called revolution was just a conduit for him to exert his narcissistic syndrome on others.He was power hungry, wanted to be rich thus his hatred for rich individuals. He was also bitter and frustrated because his alleged father didn’t want anything to do with him. After let the blood flow slogans ,physical tortures, emotional abuses unwarranted curfews,murders, missing persons and extreme famine and poverty, what did he achieve? Some shallow minded people would say he brought democracy. This was never in his bucket list until the Western world forced him to relinquish that authoritarian power of his. He later founded the NDC and it’s so ironic that he was later outwitted by his own people as some people might say “ The hanger has been hanged “ .

Bottom line - Rawlings used young, naive, impressionable and in some cases intellectually inept soldiers as a means to an end. Why do you think no high ranking officer was part of that coup? Its like a highly skilled architect who designs a building and hires lower-skilled workers to do the physical work required to erect the building. Do you also think it was coincidental all the soldiers he selected were Northerners? He used the Northerners because they fit into his lying narrative of the coup being an action to free Limman from the clutches of other politicians in the PNC. These young and naive young soldiers at that time, thought they were doing one for their own tribesman.

And at the NRC, you answered Riad calling you out on this by saying 'Everything you did, you were ordered to by JJ?' Ghana's stability, the quality of our army as of 1999, the recovery of our economy and longevity of our democracy has everything to do with the Rawlings era. The instability brought about by the 1966 coup that repeated again and again until the PNDC, these aren't things a low level soldier will understand. This was the combined impact of people who put this country's interests above their own, and were willing to die for the country. Did you? You may have been in this for adventurism, but I highly doubt the likes of Rawlings were. The evidence, no matter how you twist it, is in their legacy, as is with yours. In the end, what will Adabuga's contribution to Ghana's history? What will be the contribution of the 'zombie'? You are small man who was thinking with his stomach when you joined forces with those attempitng to take power during Jiwa's coup, and you got your ass handed to you, deservedly. Trying to lie about it just makes you seem smaller, to those of us who can see what you really are. What did Giwa and co say their reasons for taking over was when they announced it at broadcasting. Compare that with what Rawlings said during June 4th or 31st? Both times, he had full support of much of the armed forces. Did Giwa and co? Did you? Who is doing propaganda now? The facts speak for themselves. Your actions failed because they werent justified. Rawlings' actions got massive support each time. Until his death, he was still the most popular former president then living, and many average Ghanaians would have voted for him if he could run for elections. Your lies won't change that. They simply expose your lack of a soul. You may have no conscience to see your wrong. But the Facts of history expose you, Sir.

I couldn't wait to return to the U.S.with bruises all over my legs. During the months following the coup, some of my family members houses were raided by soldiers, and all that they had worked for was taken from them.They, and their descendants never recovered. Many business men and women lost their businesses. Now, Rawlings has acquired all this wealth, and enjoying it with his family.Many young men and women, and even little children were left fatherless because he killed the people he envied, or didn't like.

General Asare upon Rawlings order got shot by Adabuga. Akatapore later loaded some bullets into him before he died finally. When Adabuga shot him, he didn't die right there. Akatapore bullets finished the onslaught and put his breathe away. So Adabuga contributed to General Asare murder. He can be quiet on that - there was Akatapore and two others. I like Adabuga's overall remorse but the shame with General Asare murder he somewhat can't openly confess was the common friends he Adabuga and G. Asare had. Akatapore had a beef with G. Asare so it was easy for him to load the later bullets that killed General Asare. Adabuga didn't want to do it but he couldn't disregard the order from Rawlings. So he took Akatapore along and first shot General Asare, left the scene and whiles the General lay in pain- Akatapore finished him off.
