    If that is the case then remove the name of Prempeh the first from Kumasi airport. He was jailed for sanctioning human sacrifice. He was a tribal chief, not a national figure. Your insults are welcome but kindly tell us what ...

    Change of Name does not bring anything good to Ghana. Hatred and divisions does not do Ghana good.
    Kia is a good name for our airport. It is history.
    Nkrumah has so many places given after him.

  • NOT HATRED,NOT DIVISIONS-kwabena ohemen,london 2 days ago

    It should be history for the right reason and not to support evil. The name Kotoka is synonymous with corruption. He took 10million dollars bribe from the CIA to overthrow Nkrumah. He was corrupt and unpatriotic.

    LIAR, IT IS HATRED. GO TO BED.

    Why not simply rename it Accra International AirPort? Anything wrong with that?

  • Korshie Gborlor 2 days ago

    NDC will lose massively in Volta Region if it dares listen to these tribal bigots, who hate Ewes, to change the name, Kotoka.

    The airport will forever be Kotoka International Airport, and nothing else.

    You are an idiot. You spread tribalism while accusing someone of tribalism. Akans were not the only people who died under Rawlings, so hush.

    It is time that Ghana do NOT honour TRAITORS like Kotoka. Kotoka is an UNPATRIOTIC EWE CRIMINAL. RENAME IT ACCRA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OR KWAME NKRUMAH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

  • Oobak3 2 days ago

    At least Kotoka saved Ghana from a dictatorship. Why don't you people make for Kotoka the same argument you made for Akwaaba? "That, the name/phrase is iconic and generally accepted". Because, it is all tribal.

    I will like to see king Boney of Osu on one of the notes. He was the greatest king of ALL Ghanaians. He organized a boycott that spread into an independent movement. HE WAS THE FATHER OF THE GHANA'S INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.

    Kotoka saved Ghana from a dictatorship. Most Ghanains alive at that time appreciated Kotoka's efforts. Nkrumah is still popular because every president that came after him was useless.

    Is Kotoka not a Ghanaian? If he is then why change the name of the airport named after him. Mind you, he is a hero to some Ghanaians too
