ICPPF congratulates Samia Nkrumah.

The International Convention Peoples Party Forum (ICPPF) wishes to congratulate Ms Samia Nkrumah for her electoral success in the just ended Parliamentary elections of 7 December 2008.

The Forum also extends its unflinching support to the lone CPP parliamentarian for the firmness taken so far in her political career. In demonstrating such a height, the ICPPF is with the view that Samia has indeed fulfilled what the Osagyefo- the first prime minister of Ghana once said: “As far as I am concerned, death cannot extinguish the flame that I have lit in Africa. Long as I am gone, the torch that I have lit will continue to burn to give hope and encouragement to many.”

Thus Dr Kwame Nkrumah was of the view that unless we, as Africans and indeed as Ghanaians, meet this obvious and very powerful threat of neo-colonialism with a unified African front, based upon a common economic and defence policy, this strategy will pick us and destroy us all.

Samia might have realised that just as our strength lies in a unified policy and action for progress and development of Ghana and perhaps African continent at large, so lays the strength of our opponents in our continued disunity. The political discontentment, tribal wars, military coups, corruption, poverty and sickness in Ghana and in Africa, might be clear manifestations of these.

It might be abundantly clear that Samia Nkrumah’s appearance on the Ghanaian political scene is a sign that the real independence of Ghana that her father Kwame Nkrumah proclaimed in 1957 is about to be revisited. The International Convention Peoples Party Forum is therefore, ready for the battle ahead. Like many statesmen before her, the ICPPF believes that Samia was indeed of low background political background before appearing on the world scene, it doubts not her vision and ideas. Like and Nkrumah and many of his compatriots, they have left a living marks on many.

As the saying goes, most great things have often had humble beginnings- Samia might therefore, be a living example under whose hands and watch the burning flames of unity within the Nkrumahist family will continue to give hope and encouragement to the Ghanaian still wandering in unending nights and darkness. For your ELECTORAL SUCCESS THE ICPPF SAYS SAMIA, AYEKOO!
