Coming just a day after the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo denounced Kwame Nkrumah as the only founder of Ghana, while delivering his Founders’ Day address to the country, Felix Ofosu-Kwakye, a former Deputy Minister of Information, has shared a letter that was authored by JB Danquah.

Shared via his X page, the letter written on October 10, 1951, titled: ‘Nkrumah and his tricks’, and addressed to J.A Obdam ESQ in London, described Nkrumah’s call on political parties, traditional leaders and the entire citizenry to demand immediate independence from the British, as an invitation to criminal conspiracy against law and order.

“That man Kwame Nkrumah, who is Leader of Government Business, has started his tricks again, this time, he, who is the Government, is inviting all the political leaders and chiefs to join him to send an ultimatum to His Majesty’s Government of the United Kingdom for ‘SELF-GOVERNMENT NOW’ and if rejected to declare Positive Action-strikes and boycott, etc,” parts of the statement read.
