What he said in the earlier video
In the earlier video, Owusu Adjei said “…. today as I hear the word blood flows, it is the blood of the Akyem Mafia that will flow”, alluding to the June 4 Revolution and the subsequent killing of high ranking military officers in the 1979 June 4 Uprising.
He also referred to the overthrow of President Edward Akufo-Addo and Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia's government in 1970 and suggested a similar fate for President Akufo-Addo. President Edward Akufo-Addo is President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's father.
“There are some people when you give them the power they cannot hold on to it and he is just like his father,” he said.
“There is no way he can hold on to this power. God is my witness, hallelujah” Kwabena Owusu Adjei said to which an audience, of at least four, responded ‘amen’.
