This comes after President Akufo-Addo’s Founders’ Day message, where he rejected the notion that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah single-handedly founded the country.

“The President is still living in the emotions of the past and still unable to let go of what happened in the past,” Sekou Nkrumah said in an interview with 3FM’s Beatrice Adu. “We all agree that Nkrumah led Ghana to independence. People would argue that others struggled with him. But the point is that he captured power. He led us to independence. So, let’s not take that away from him.”

Sekou Nkrumah also acknowledged the contributions of others, saying, “The big 6, their contribution cannot be disputed, but it was unfortunate… three of the big 6, and two actually died under Nkrumah.”

He emphasized the need to recognize his father’s leadership role, stating, “We all accept the contribution that the others made. And actually, they even invited him to become the General Secretary of the UGCC. But at the same time, we don’t need to be petty. I think we should all rise above that and try to understand our history, and the history is for all of us as Ghanaians.”
