Ghana’s founder and former president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, has become the fulcrum of public discussions in the last 72 hours, following the Founders’ Day celebration.
Netizens have revisited history to familiarize themselves with the legacy and contributions of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, especially towards economic development in the country and across borders.
This comes in the wake of a state address on August 4 by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to commemorate Founders’ Day celebration.
His remarks sparked wild debates and controversies among the public over who the founding father of the country was.
Additionally, the contributions and roles played by the other members of the Big Six, namely Edward Akufo-Addo, Ako Adjei, J.B Danquah, Emmanuel Obetsebi Lamptey and William Ofori Atta, have come into question.
According to netizens, Nkrumah is the solely recognized founding father of Ghana; thus, any attempts by some individuals to erase his legacies and undermine his achievements will not be accepted.
