I have seen many pro-NDC and ‘Neutrals’ trying to ridicule claims Dr. Mac-Palm and his accomplices couldn’t stage a coup with the sort of weapons retrieved by security agencies.

Again, don’t let looks fool you, when a skinny looking flight Lieutenant J.J Rawlings seized power in 1979, through a coup, did he have to have the keys to the armoury?. Definitely not, he just needed the right people supporting him.
With that said, I believe their plot was meant to fail right from its incipiency because the Ghanaian people have come to understand the tenets of democracy so much so that, we wouldn’t let anyone tamper with the freedoms with enjoy today as a nation.
