Dr.
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh’s
attempt
to
compare
Nana
Addo
to
Osagyefo
Dr.
Kwame
Nkrumah
following
his
uninspiring
outdooring
as
the
running
mate
to
the
failed
presidential
candidate
of
the
NPP,
Dr.
Mahamudu
Bawumia
is
a
misguided
and
insulting
affront
to
the
legacy
of
Ghana’s
founding
father.
Dr.
Nkrumah’s
unparalleled
contributions
to
Ghana’s
independence
and
development
are
undeniable,
and
any
attempt
to
draw
comparisons
with
Nana
Addo
is
unjust
and
illogical.
Dr.
Nkrumah’s
vision,
leadership,
and
progress
are
unmatched
in
Ghana’s
history.
Nkrumah’s
legacy
and
accomplishments
span
across
all
regions
in
Ghana,
with
even
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh’s
own
Ashanti
Region
benefiting
greatly
from
his
achievements
and
profound
impact.
The
following
are
some
of
Nkrumah’s
achievements
in
the
Ashanti
Region;
1.
Establishment
of
the
Komfo
Anokye
Teaching
Hospital
in
Kumasi,
a
leading
medical
facility
in
West
Africa.
2.
Construction
of
the
Kwame
Nkrumah
University
of
Science
and
Technology,
a
prestigious
technical
university
in
Ghana.
3.
Expansion
of
the
Kumasi
Central
Market,
boosting
the
regional
economy.
4.
Development
of
the
road
network
in
the
Ashanti
Region,
including
the
construction
of
the
Kumasi-Accra
highway,
enhancing
transportation
and
connectivity.
5.
Establishment
of
the
Kumasi
Shoe
Factory
and
Kumasi
Jute
Factory.
On
a
national
scale,
Dr.
Kwame
Nkrumah’s
achievements
are
even
more
remarkable.
Some
of
the
milestones
he
achieved
include
but
are
not
limited
to
the
following;
–
Introduced
free
and
compulsory
primary
education
and
established
renowned
universities
like
the
University
of
Ghana
and,
the
University
of
Cape
Coast.
–
Constructed
the
Korle
Bu
Teaching
Hospital.
–
Established
various
educational
and
technical
institutes
across
the
country.
–
Constructed
Tema
Harbour
–
Constructed
the
Accra
International
Airport,
which
was
later
changed
to
Kotoka
International
AirPort.
Is
Mathew
Opoku
Prempeh
strangely
suggesting
that
Nana
Akufo-Addo’s
administration,
which
has
plunged
the
country
into
economic
turmoil
through
unprecedented
borrowing,
debt
distress
stinking
corruption,
and
ineffective
leadership,
is
somehow
superior
to
the
transformative
leadership
of
Dr.
Kwame
Nkrumah
that
propelled
Ghana
into
a
new
era
of
development
and
progress?
Under
Dr.
Kwame
Nkrumah’s
visionary
leadership,
Ghana
emerged
as
a
beacon
of
hope
and
a
shining
star
in
Africa,
setting
an
example
for
other
nations
to
follow.
Regrettably,
Ghana
has
now
become
a
laughingstock
owing
to
the
abysmal
performance
of
the
Akufo
Addo-Bawumia-led
government.
As
the
Energy
Minister
(NAPO),
should
acknowledge
the
significance
of
Kwame
Nkrumah’s
Akosombo
Dam,
a
critical
infrastructure
project
that
continues
to
generate
over
30
percent
of
Ghana’s
electricity
supply
to
this
day.
NAPO
must
retract
his
statement
and
apologize
for
his
attempt
to
mischievously
rewrite
history.
Dr.
Kwame
Nkrumah’s
legacy
is
sacrosanct,
and
any
attempt
to
downgrade
it
will
be
met
with
fierce
resistance.
The
people
of
Ghana
will
not
tolerate
any
attempt
to
distort
the
country’s
history
and
undermine
the
legacy
of
its
founding
father.
The
undying
legacy
of
the
African
of
the
Millennium
and
global
icon,
Osagyefo
Dr.
Kwame
Nkrumah
will
forever
be
protected
and
not
allowed
to
be
distorted
and
undermined.
KWAME
NKRUMAH
NEVER
DIES.
