NKRUMAH FOUNDATION SPEAKS ON THE 43RD ANNIVERSARY OF OSAGYEFO DR.KWAME NKRUMAH'S OVERTHROW.

Members of the Nkrumah Foundation lead by Prof.Agyemang Badu Akosa have held a press conference in commemoration of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah 43rd anniversary of his overthrow in 24th February 1966 in Accra. Speaking at the press briefing the president Prof.Akosa said on the occasion of the anniversary the foundation condemns the negative forces within and outside the Nkrumaist family who over the years had resorted to all sort of political machination to denigrate the towering vision, philosophy and ideals of Nkrumah. "As committed Nkrumaist we call on all Nkrumaist and other progressive forces to re-dedicate ourselves to the visionary ideas of our great leader and founder of modern Ghana-Osagyefo Dr.Nkrumah. We would also like to appeal to all Nkrumaist to join us in our efforts to celebrate the centenary birthday of African illustrious son". Prof Badu Akosa said the celebration should be used to remind all Nkrumaist that the best to offer on his centenary birthday is to use the centenary birthday to rekindle Nkrumah's –anti-imperialism, pan Africanism and vision and act to serve as a progressive centre of organization to mobilize our people for realization of the "unfinished" business of Nkrumaism.He thanked president Mills for demonstrating his true credentials as an Nkrumaist by declaring in his state of the nation address ,that,Nkrumahs birthday 21st September will now be observed as a public holiday "Founders Day".Prof.Akosa further reiterated that the naming of the gateway to Ghana through our airspace "Kotoka International Airport" should be reviewed and asked whether reasons ascribed forty-three years ago to the name are still valid in our modern democracy. Dr Amilcar Cabral tribute to Osagyefo Dr.Nkrumah stated that "These are the truth we must utter to each other at this moment, but we must above all tell those who like to shed crocodile tears over mortal remains of Kwame Nkrumah. The African people and particularly the freedom fighters cannot be fooled. Let no one come and tell us that Nkrumah died from cancer of the throat or any sickness.No, Nkrumah was killed by the cancer of betryal, which we must tear out by the roots in Africa, if we really want to liquidate imperialist domination definitely on this continent. We the liberation movement will not forgive those who betrayed Nkrumah. The Ghanaian people will not forgive .Progressive mankind will not forgive .Let those who are due for rehabilitation make haste to rehabilitate themselves. It is not yet too late" he said. He observed a flash back of some productive things the then president Nkrumah did to sustain the economy giving total comfort to the Ghanaian in terms of sufficient works, patriotism among others which have lost its values today. A kindle possession to the Kwame Nkrumah Museum in Accra will be hosted in the evening as a flash back of events among others leading to his overthrow.
