Sekou Nkrumah, Son of Ghana’s first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah has responded rather harshly to a statement made by the Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament Rt. Hon Aaron Mike Ocquaye that Kwame Nkrumah was not the founder of Ghana.
Responding to a Facebook post by Francis Ontonyin, a lawyer – whose post may be deemed as sarcastic after a section of the media reported the Speaker of Parliament’s statement at an IEA organized forum, the former president’s son minced no words and went hard on the head of the legislative arm of government saying “He’s a big fool.”
He further posts on his page that “Kwame Nkrumah led Ghana to independence and therefore he is the founder of modern Ghana! That is a fact.
If some people want to shove” alternative facts” down the throats of Ghanaians they must be prepared for a serious political confrontation, and I can assure them a humiliating defeat in the court of public opinion.”
The post on his Facebook page Citifmonline.com reports that “The Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye has described as palpable falsehood, claims that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah founded Independent Ghana.”
The report further reports the Speaker saying that “… today we celebrate one founding father which is palpable false, we have founding fathers.”
This comes on the back of recent intense public debate after President Akufo-Addo’s independence day speech where some critics felt the President made attempts at skewing the history of Ghana, a claim the government has flatly denied.
There’s been a long-standing debate in the country as to who really founded Ghana – as to whether it was done single-handedly or done as a group with some holding the opinion that all those who played a role towards our country’s independence must be mentioned other than narrowing it to only one person.
It is expected that this latest outburst from the son of the former president will reignite this long-standing debate.

Sekou you are ***barred word*** ***barred word***. Cos is JB who introduce your father to the party members who were fighting for independence. Beacause he was greedy and selfis he left and form his party.There was a party that was fighting before him. That killer and prison without try man.Look at your ***barred word*** face insulting somebody. You behave like ***barred word***. Trust me cpp can't win a seat in parliament, because of the wickedness of your father. Who told you your father is the founder of Ghana, that's not true, but he is one of those who fought for independence period.
Sekou, you are a big disgrace and the biggest fuuuuul!
the reason why Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye was given the Speaker of Parliament is not because he deserve it but that he will be in a better position to twist history for the world to here the evil agenda of the danguah busia tradition against the true founder of ghana dr kwame nkrumah.
FACTS are not always the TRUTH. The lies and propaganda of CPP have rendered them and Kwame Nkrumah irrelevant in contemporary Ghanaian Politics. It the UP tradition who matter now. They have stood the test of time.
It is shameful for the man who wants his father to be recognized as the founding father of this nation to resort to insults. Will insulting the speaker of Parliament change any facts. Is there no better way to address the issue apart from insulting this honorable man? Am sorry but if this is one of Nkrumah's sons then he is a disgrace to his father ghost.
CPP DID NOT DIE WITH THE OVERTHROW OF NKRUMAH . IT WAS PART OF THE PLAN CRAFTED BY THE COUP LEADERS AND THEIR OVERSEAS BOSSES TO HUMILIATE NKRUMAH . SO CPP WAS DISBANDED IMMEDDIATELY AFTER THE OVERTHROW OF NKRUMAH . NKRUMAH'S ENIMIES WERE TOO MANY BECAUSE THEY ENVY HIS INTELLECT AND HIS WISDOM THAT THESE FOLKS WERE IN A HUNT TO DESTROY ANYTHING THAT NKRUMAH HAS DONE FOR THE BLACKMAN.SOMEBODY SHOULD LET PROF OCQUAYE KNOW THAT HE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL . HE IS STILL ***barred word*** OR JUST A ***barred word***.NKRUMAH IS THE SMARTEST BLACKMAN EVER LIVED.
My brother, you are this so called professor Mike Ocquaye is the most f00000lish professor and the speaker Ghana has ever have.
You and your the ***barred word*** son of Nkrumah are the most F001ish people at Gh.
The reason for the back and forth with this founder founders issue is because of the divisions that came about at that time. Had Nkrumah worked together with the others to the end we would not be having these debates. We all know no man is an island hence any founder in the world had people who worked behind the scenes and are not bothered being unsung heroes.
Sekou you are very right, this skin pain old men now in power trying so hard to be recognized after throwing bombs
