The Du-Bois centre in Accra have held a day forum to remember the hardworks of Dr.Kwame Nkrumah in fighting for the total liberation of the African continent and how he was overthrown on 24th February 1966.Speaking at the forum Accra Dr.Robert Lee a colleague of Dr.kwame Nkrumah at the Pennslyvania University in United States Of America briefed participantes on some of the good works of Dr.Nkrumah which today is helping Africa.He commended the president for declearing his centinary birthday as a holiday and urged all Africans to use the day as a great moment of reflection of the great son of Africa.In an interview with The Ghanaian Reactor Online, the president of the Nkrumah Foundation (Ghana) Prof.Agyemang Badu 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.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.BY:MICHAEL FATHER AMEDOR
