Those who overthrew the legitimate government of Dr Kwame Nkrumah in 1966 were “evil men,” Prof Edmund Delle, Chairman of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) has said.
“Ever since the forward march of this country was truncated by evil men in 1966, through the overthrow of the legitimate government of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana has not seen or witnessed any realistic development. The situation became worse when we returned to multiparty democracy in 1992,” Prof Delle said on Saturday, 29 October at the launch of the party’s 2016 manifesto.
Nkrumah was the Gold Coast’s first Prime Minister and also became the first President of Ghana after the British colony gained independence in 1957.
On February 24, 1966, while Nkrumah was on a state visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, his government was overthrown in a military coup led by General Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka and the National Liberation Council. Declassified intelligence showed the CIA had a hand in his overthrow.
Prof Delle told the gathering of supporters at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Accra that the CPP, a “sleeping giant” was now “awake” and ready to take the reins of government again to bring prosperity to the people of Ghana.

Prof Delle still talking after your son duped people through DKM MICROFINANCE. Is that how u buying your sons way through it.Smh
Delle should check the region where all coup makers (successful and unsuccessful ones) since independence come from and he will be amazed why Ghana is what it is today.Greed and envy runs through all of them.
One of the line of our National Anthem reads " ..Help us to resit the oppressor rule...". Kwame Nkrumah oppressed us more than the UK did to us. In fact the overthrow was God sent. That is why I strongly believe the CPP is dead and will never rise again. Well done Kotoka, Afrifa and the team for given Ghana the true Independence.
Evil Men over Overthrew Dr Liman too
So, this man call himself, a professor? Kaai ! Some of you are treating Nkrumah, as a SAINT, and that amounts to ***barred word***-candy mannerism. If you're a professor, why not sit and think to bring development to your country, but rather heap praises on someone's mediocre achievements? Professor BANSA!
Mr Prof Delle,I want you to know and understand that Dr Kwame Nkrumah was himself evil, power drunk like his father the Satan who intended to destroy the good people of Ghana.Please look to Nelson Mandela and Kwame Nkrumah and if you are intelligent please excuse me in using that word intelligent, you will be able to read between the two Mandela and Nkrumah and you will see that a name is missing and that name was Dr JB Dankwaah whom Nkrumah destroyed because of his evil mentality. God save Ghana and Blessed your name in Jesus name I pray. Amen
Delle is throwing cheap shots at npp to satisfy his paymasters at the flagstaff house. Was Kotoka an Ashanti or Ewe? ***barred word***
The man is dead and gone, can't you raise your party up to the standard that can be acceptable to Ghanaians? You're party of the problem when you are serving the NDC.
This Man is doing the bidding of the NDC & JM. True lovers of CPP must rise up. Delle and Greenstreet are a disgrace. Stomach politicians.
