Nana Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic of Ghana was a member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) till the morning of 1966 coup, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, Editor of the Insight Newspaper has revealed.
According to him, when the National Liberation Council which overthrew the government of Ghana’s first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, drew up the list of the “most dangerous CPP elements” to be arrested that morning, Nana Akufo-Addo’s name was on the list.
“So if the CPP was such a bad organization and had committed all of these atrocities, it was with the support, concurrence and participation of His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,” he stated.
He questioned: “Isn’t it strange that a member of CPP up until the morning of February 24, 1966, is the one leading the charge,” of changing the narrative of who founded Ghana.
Kwesi Pratt Jnr told Samuel Eshun on Radio Gold current affairs program, Alhaji and Alhaji, the President in his maiden state of the nation address sought to incite a debate over who founded Ghana.
President Akufo-Addo seemed unhappy that Founder’s Day public holiday only acknowledges and celebrates Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Delivering a speech to climax Ghana’s 60th anniversary celebration, President Nana Akufo-Addo stoked embers of the debate over whether Ghana should have founding fathers or just a founding father.
But commenting on this issue on Alhaji and Alhaji Saturday, Mr. Kwesi Pratt said: “President Nana Addo’s purpose for the call for debate is to add his two uncles and his father to the list of national heroes.”
He added that “one of the people he (President Akufo-Addo) wants to add to the list of national hero’s is a convicted terrorist. Obetsebi Lamptey was a convicted terrorist, and surprisingly Nana Addo’s father was one of the three judges to have declared him a terrorist.”
“If Justice Akufo-Addo was convinced that Obetsebi Lamptey was a terrorist, should he be added

Kwasi Pratt eii, we've heard you. Nkrumah bought a barren land and populated it and named it Ghana. He was not only the founder of Ghana, he created Ghana. Are you satisfied?

This man is getting confused more and more. Who brought Kwame Nkrumah in the first place, is it not UGCC? If he had not been brought by UGCC how would he had started the fight for Independence at all? Revise your history notes my friend. Your double standards all because of your stomach is making you mess up
