A member of the communications team of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Felix Kwakye Ofosu has taken a swipe at Dr. Sekou Nkrumah, a son of Ghana’s first president, for suggestion that President J.E.A Mills is dividing the Nkrumah family.
According to Kwakye Ofosu, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah would have turned in his grave if his son Dr. Sekou Nkrumah was invited to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to witness the unveiling of a statue in his honour.
Sekou Nkrumah had questioned the Father For All mantra espoused by President Mills after two of his siblings, Dr. Francis Nkrumah and Samia Nkrumah, Chairperson of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), were invited by government on a trip to Ethiopia where a statue of their late father would be unveiled at the forecourt of the newly constructed AU building in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The statue is in honour of the leading role Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah played in the African liberation struggle as well as the Pan Africanist Movement.
Sekou Nkrumah attributed his snub to his critique of the performance of the Mills-led administration and his support for the opposition leader Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Friday, Felix Kwakye Ofosu said Sekou’s exclusion from the president’s entourage to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was in the best interest of Ghana.
He explained Sekou Nkrumah’s presence at the Addis Ababa would have been an embarrassment to the country and to a large extent the image of his late father, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu stated that Sekou disrespect to his own father; describing him (Dr. Kwame Nkrumah)as a dictator during the 2008 electioneering campaign does not qualify him to be at any gathering in honour of his great father who is the greatest African of all time.
He cited Sekou's close association with the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) which he asserted as the very people who overthrew Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s government as a total disrespect of his late father’s ideologies and principles.
The NDC youth activist who was infuriated by the conduct of Sekou Nkrumah said “it would have been a disgrace for Ghana if Sekou was invited to Ethiopia”.
