Napo Sparks Debate: Akufo-Addo or Nkrumah, Who’s Ghana’s Greatest?

Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), a political figure, and the running mate of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia sparked controversy by claiming that President Akufo-Addo has contributed more to Ghana’s development than Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s first president and a key figure in its independence.

This statement led to widespread criticism and debate on social media platforms, with many users expressing strong disagreement and defending Nkrumah’s legacy. The discussion highlighted Nkrumah’s enduring impact and his status as a revered historical figure, emphasizing his significant contributions to Ghana’s development.

Dear, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, do you even know Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah?
Maybe some of his achievements might be of help if you wouldn’t mind.

Can you show me any sustainable one from this current government of Nana Akuffo Addo?

Do you know whom a visionary leader is? Maybe some of his visionary quote might help you;

“As far as I am concerned, I am in the knowledge that death can never extinguish the torch which I have lit in Ghana and Africa. Long after I am dead and gone, the light will continue to burn and be borne aloft, giving light and guidance to all people.”

“Those who would judge us merely by the heights we have achieved would do well to remember the depths from which we started.”

“Countrymen, the task ahead is great indeed, and heavy is the responsibility; and yet it is a noble and glorious challenge – a challenge which calls for the courage to dream, the courage to believe, the courage to dare, the courage to do, the courage to envision, the courage to fight, the courage to work, the courage to achieve – to achieve the highest excellencies and the fullest greatness of man. Dare we ask for more in life?” ~ Kwame Nkrumah
