Sergeant Daniel Alolga Akata-Pore (rtd), a key figure in the defunct Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), led by former President Jerry John Rawlings, has voiced out his willingness to join forces with the latter to ask the nation to pardon them.
He wants Ghanaians to accept their remorse, reconcile and bring closure to the incidents following the 1981 coup which was led by the then Ft. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, a junior officer of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).
It is a posture former President Rawlings, the lead architect of the coup, is silent on.
He has over the years justified his come back after handing over power to the Limann administration in September 1979.
Akata-Pore and Rawlings fell out in the 1980s after the bloody coup and its aftermath that left many Ghanaians scared from atrocities of indiscipline military officers.
He fled to London after the June 19, 1983 abortive coup. He has since been in exile 36 years after his narrow escape from jail.
The Rawlings critic expressed regret after viewing the Joy News ‘Scars of the Revolution’ documentary.
The documentary chronicles events of the 1979 and 1981 coups, both orchestrated by Mr Rawlings. Several military officers including generals and former heads of state were executed on the orders of the PNDC, in some cases without trial.
The spill-over resulted in chaos and disorder with various accounts of torture and inhumane treatment meted out to Ghanaians.
