Is Sekou Crying Because The One He Described As Having A Crooked Ass Didn�t Invite Him?

Director of Communications at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho, burst into a hearty guffaw when he heard Dr. Sekou Nkrumah, son of Ghana�s first President, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, who was sidelined by the Mills administration, pontificate that he (Sekou) would not have honoured an invitation from an �incompetent and a corrupt government�, had President Mills offered to take him along on the trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Dr. Nkrumah�s comments follow his exclusion from a trip to the AU Summit in Ethiopia, where his late father, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is to be honored and a statute of him, unveiled at the forecourt of the newly constructed AU building. Known for his bluntness, Sekou Nkrumah, who recently declared his support for the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party Nana Akufo-Addo, was left behind as the President headed to Addis Ababa for the Heads of State and Governments of the AU meeting with his two siblings. His siblings, Dr. Francis Nkrumah and Samia Nkrumah, were invited to join the president on the trip. But this decision, it appears, has not gone down well with the third son of Nkrumah. The situation seems to have widened the rift between the presidency and the former Acting National Coordinator of the National Youth Authority who has for some time now become a vociferous critic of President Mills and his leadership style. Lamenting about the decision to sideline him in an interview on OmanFM, Sekou said it was unfortunate that a party he campaigned for during the last general elections would deny him the opportunity of participating in an AU ceremony in honour of his late father. To him, this clearly indicates that �the Father for all� tag on President Mills is a sham.
