Nkroful Chief summons NAPO to render unreserved apology over Nkrumah comment

The
Chief
of
Nkroful,
Nana
Kwasi
Kutuah
together
with
the
Nzema
Manle
have
summoned
the
running
mate
of
NPP,
Dr.
Mathew
Opoku
Prempeh
to
Nkroful
to
render
an
unreserved
apology
to
the
kinsmen
of
Dr.
Kwame
Nkrumah
over
his
attacks
on
his
personality
during
his
unveiling
in
Kumasi.

Although
NAPO
has
issued
an
apology
after
his
“Your
Kwame
Nkrumah”
attack,
the
Chief
of
Nkroful,
Nana
Kwasi
Kutuah
together
with
the
Nzema
Manle
at
a
press
conference
on
Sunday,
July
14,
at
Nkroful
said
NAPO’s
posture
of
not
admitting
to
insulting
Nkrumah
in
his
apology
was
defensive,
hence
must
go
to
Nkroful
to
apologise
for
forgiveness.

Chief
of
Nkroful,
Nana
Kwasi
Kutuah

“His
comments
where
he
alluded
to
using
the
phrase
in
our
local
Twi
parlance
as
“Mo
Kwame
Nkrumah
Nu”
meaning
“Your
Kwame
Nkrumah”
smacks
as
gross
disrespect
against
Osagyefo
Dr
Kwame
Nkrumah
and
we
condemn
it
with
all
alacrity.
Dr.
Prempeh’s
comments
are
an
affront
to
our
democracy
and
have
the
potential
to
derail
the
peace
and
unity
of
the
country.

“It
is
intriguing
to
note
that
his
posture
of
not
admitting
to
insulting
Nkrumah
in
his
release
is
not
enough
and
we
call
on
him
to
come
again,
since
his
claim
is
deemed
hollow.

“Our
attention
has
been
drawn
to
various
media
publications
that
Dr
Prempeh
has
rendered
an
apology
to
Nkrumah
and
other
past
Presidents
of
Ghana.
We,
therefore,
demand
Dr
Prempeh
come
to
Nzema
to
meet
Nananom
and
the
family
of
Dr.
Nkrumah
at
Nkroful
to
render
an
unreserved
apology
to
the
kinsmen
of
the
revered
icon,”
he
demanded.

Surrounded
by
the
Chiefs
and
People
of
Nzema,
the
Chief
of
Nkroful
further
cautioned
politicians
who
want
to
thrive
on
undermining
the
legacy
of
Dr
Nkrumah
to
get
ready
to
face
a
big
fight
from
Nzemas.

“We
the
Chiefs,
people
of
Nkroful,
Nzema
and
Western
Region
want
to
tell
the
World
that
we
cherish
the
achievements
of
Dr.
Nkrumah
and
will
not
allow
anyone
or
group
to
bring
the
hard-won
reputation
of
Osagyefo
Dr.
Kwame
Nkrumah
into
disrepute.

“We
would
like
to
admonish
all
political
actors
and
their
followers
to
desist
from
denigrating
the
image
of
the
“African
of
the
Millenium”
whom
the
World
has
accepted
as
a
global
icon.
In
conclusion,
we
would
like
to
entreat
all
political
actors
and
their
followers
to
advocate
messages
that
will
unite,
foster
peace
and
development
of
our
motherland,
Ghana,”
he
added.
