Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has pledged to restore and correct every single misrepresentation of Nkrumah’s legacy should when he is elected Ghana’s president in December.
According to him, Nkrumah’s legacy both in Africa and Ghana needs the much needed respect and recognition as they were great feats.
John Mahama noted that in recent times, the attempted distortions and disrespect to Nkrumah’s legacy had become one too many.
“Before we can fully embrace the vision of Osagyefo, we must first dispel the divisive and needless debates that have recently intensified to try to obliterate his legacy.”
“The next NDC government will seek to remove the distortions in our history and restore Kwame Nkrumah to his rightful place in the history of Ghana. To celebrate this great man, the next NDC government will recognize this festival with the title ‘The Journey to Nkroful’ as one of the official events on Ghana’s tourism calendar. This festival will become a pan-African pilgrimage for progressives from all over the world to visit the birthplace of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah,” he stated.
John Dramani Mahama further championed a focus on completing Nkrumah’s economic vision for Ghana and Africa. He made his sentiments known at an event to mark Nkrumah’s 115th birthday at Nkroful
