One of the first 10 female Member of Parliament(MPs) in the Convention People’s Party(CPP) era,Lucy Aning says the country is strayed from the legacies of the forefathers because of lack of patriotism in current Ghanaian leaders.
“I have nightmares today because almost all aspects of our national life are not working right. We tend to destroy the foundation, architect and vision of our past leaders [Nkrumah’s legacy], ”Lucy Aning, whose party won Ghana’s independence in 1957 said.
She berated post Nkrumah regimes of running down State entreprises and killing industries in the country which she noted is the bane of Ghana’s economic frustrations.
“Through the defunct State Farms we thought Malaysia nursing of Oil Palms in our country, and they have used to to develop their countries and Ghana is still struggling with hunger,” she bemoaned.
According to her, instead of the managers of the economy to concentrate on nurturing a vision to build a strong economy for the West African nation-Ghana, “we prefer trading in dumping goods brought from the Western world”.
“I read newspapers every day and I get sad with the state of our nation. All we know best is building stores and trading in inferior goods. What have we produced as a nation and we’re selling? Lucy queried in an interview with host Fiifi Banson onAnopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM Thursday.
The comments by the veteran politician comes after Ghana marked the 107th birthday of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, the first President of Ghana for his contribution towards the liberation and growth of the country.
The day, christened Founder’s Day and declared a public holiday is mostly earmarked with activities including lectures and symposiums to commemorate the First Ghanaian leader .

Lucife r, sham e on you. You are not the person to advice her on who overthrew Nkrumah and she knows definitely well that it was inside job that betrayed Nkrumah. We had all those UP leaders in Detention and JB Danquah died a year before Nkrumah's overthrow so who showed the soldiers the way to the dungeon in the flagstaff house? Mind you the soldiers had a map of the flagstaff house before their operation so who gave them the map? Was that the opposition and were they living in the flagstaff house? so called Nkrumaists are traitors and liars, propagandist who have extended their traits into the ndc hence the founder and leader of ndc has been betrayed by his own party he created and formed. After all the UP tradition show respect and love to their living and dead leaders. They've never betrayed their leaders Danquah- Dombo-Busia where as president Rawlings founder of the ndc is alive but forgotten. Mind your business and leave the NPP alone, since even if Osagyefo was to be alive today he would have joined the NPP because UP and CPP came from one party UGCC. What difference is it to Nana Konadu's NDP from the NDC? SHAME ON YOU AGAIN and try to learn the history of Ghana. We learnt about the big six during Nkrumah's time he never said he was the founder of Ghana until Atta Mills ndc found to use it to divide the country like they are trying to divide the Rawlings family with their NDC and NDP ***barred word***, like Rawlings is different from his wife which never worked and it will never work.Rawlings will continue to LOVE Nana till the end. Evil party.
Lucifer Ennin, do you remember those who overthrew Kwame Nkrumah? They are called UP_NPP. Get some rest now.
The Old Lady should rather lament the wolves who masterminded the overthrow of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Everything that went wrong about Ghana started the day Dr, Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown by ........
Our parliament has been taken over byy THIEEEEVES, Armed Robbers and Drug barons. Parliament is now a Gamlamsey pit where people go to dig gold. Both NPP and NDC MPs are the same. Akr)nfo) Nkoaaaaaaa!
MAMA,PLEASE BLAME MAHAMA/ASIEDU/SEGBEFIA/NDC AND CRONIES.
