Audio Attachment: Listen to Kwesi Pratt Jnr. |
President Nana Akufo-Addo has proposed legislation to Parliament to designate 4th August as Founders' Day.
If the legislation becomes successful, it means both 21st September which marks Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day and 4th August will be observed as public holidays, Communications Director at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin noted in a statement.
The President's proposal has since attracted strong opposition and dissenting views from the Minority and Nkrumahists in the country.
Speaking on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo", an Nkrumahist and a seasoned journalist Kwesi Pratt sought to disclose some blazing facts about the President.
In few words, Mr. Pratt stated categorically that the President, Nana Akufo Addo was a member of the Convention People's Party which was founded by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
He noted that the President belonged to a very "radical wing" of the party called the National Association of Socialist Students and was so instrumental that he became a target during the 1966 coup.
“His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was a staunch member of the CPP, in fact, until February 24, 1966. Everything that the CPP did and didn’t do well, he was part of it. He wasn’t just a member of the CPP. He belonged to the radical wing of the Convention People’s Party...He was so important to the CPP and he was so radical that when those who staged the February 24, 1966 coup were looking for people to arrest, Nana Addo’s name was listed”.
Kwesi Pratt made this known while expressing dissenting views regarding the President's proposal for 4th August to be passed by Parliament as Founders' Day.

how old is Kwesi Pratt please people read the history very well before you comment
I advice Nana Addo to concentrate on making a name for himself and discard the idea of trying to rescue his father and others who were hired by CIA to disturb the prosperity of this country. If those Nana Addo is trying desperately to shine did any sensibl thing everyone would know by now.
Kwesi Pratt, seasoned journalist my foot, stomach and substandard journalists like you sent NDC, a government in power, to a humiliating opposition, and that is what you continue to do.Evil teeth journalist, get ready we shall surely stop you one day and take the state Land cruzer car that incompetent Mahama gave you. ***barred word***.
Adwoa.....kindly have my blessing.You've taken the wind out of my sail. Thank you.
Most Young Pioneers and members of the African Personality Group are not members of the NDC, CPP or any of the so called Nhrumaist parties. With age one matures and is able to decide for himself except people like Kwasi Pratt. Where is the Soviet Union now?
Nana is better then you presently.
Kwasi, go and work on your protruding teeth and stop the ga.rbage you are spewing
And so what? because you allowed yourselves (CPP) to be bought by NDC that is why NANA is now NPP President
So why is the CPP and the so called Nkrumahist in the NDC worried about Nana Addo's founders Day proposal? The man is objective that is all. He joined the CPP against the wishes of his father because he believed in the CPP ideology as a student at that time. He has proven to be somebody who is decisive and doesn't join parties based on family lineage. After the changes in the world order and communism became less relevant in the world economic order he realised that the centre right movement was the way to go moving into the future and not the extreme left. That makes him a pragmatic leader not sticking to outdated ideologies simply because he is a family member of the proponents of an ideology.
Mr know it all Pratt! Nana was cpp and so what? Comot for there... smelly mouth!
