I want to be oo. Has Peesident Mahama decided to give Kotoka International Airport Gas as Ga Cultural heritage to own? I just heard on Joy Fm 6pm news broadcast that the Ga Traditional Council is convening a meeting at Dodowa soon to consider the right name and Ga person to whom the Airport should be named after. Please to President Mahama, Kotoka International Airport was built by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah with the Nation's Natural Resources from all Regions. The Airport was built by the tax payers money who were properly employed at the time, were hard working and loved work. The Kotoka International Airport was not built by the Ga Traditional Council and there was or is no way, they could built a National monument like Airport because they have no resources.

If genuinely, attempts are being made to change the name of Airport because of Kotoka being a coup plotter, then the process must not be allowed to be dictated by any Ga Traditional council.The Ga Traditional Council must be nationally aware instead of that mistaken belief they continue to hold and assume that National Monuments are Ga Traditional Cultural Heritage assert.

NDC must finally be made aware that whatever name would be used for the Airport must be nationally uniting( Kwame Nkrumah International Airport is the most Iconic African brand to use for this Airport. Not any Ga Chief name which has nothing Iconic in it.

Let history not be distorted,. To hear this evening on Joy Fm that, Ga Traditional Council is meeting soon to decide on the name for the Airport is most nauseating and regrettable. The Airport is not a Ga assert.

We know the Gas vehemently resisted the naming of the Accra Sports Stadium after the" Iconic Sportman Ohene Djan' because Accra Sports Stadium is located in Accra and Ohene Djan is not a Ga. That is not how a nation should be built. Resources are extracted from other regions including food to build the Capital city because the Capital city has no resources, yet others don't complain about that. Let National monuments be National monuments.

Finally, President Mahama, let the naming represent the interest of Ghana" Kwame Nkrumah International Airport " the reasonable thing to do. The Iconic "Akwaaba" that identifies with Ghanaians for years will not be substituted for their so called "Obaake" a termed they just discovered this morning

But why do the Nkwasiafuor Peoples Party members hate Gas so much? At the very least they should show some gratitude to the Ga people for allowing them to freely over populate Accra. Why is this fool above, who goes by the name Kwame, so upset about the fact that the Ga Traditional Council is meeting to also suggest a new name for the airport? If tribal bigots like Nyaho Tamakloe, Afenyo Markin, Franklin Cudjoe and that Azaa so-called law professor are being allowed to freely vent their sentiments on the issue, why should the traditional authorities in Accra be prevented from doing so?

Can any of these shameless tribal bigots publicly oppose the traditional authorities of those parts of the country where they originate from? Did any one of these tribal bigots oppose the change of name from Kumasi Airport to Prempeh International Airport in 2024?

In any civilized country, people who commit treason are hanged or shot to death in a public square. In Ghana, the names of such despicable people are "proudly" imposed on the main point of entry into the country and pseudo-lawyers and pea-brained politicians find reason to justify such unholy discrepancies. Alas!! This is how far education has brought us.

Rawlings did not force anyone to name any edifice after him. Most Ghanaians did not understand why Linman was overthrown. He was not removed because of corruption but because of shotage of essential commodities and lack of direction of the country. So stop linking the man to these reckless attitude of politicians currently.

Listen to the erratic Afenyo-makins. The should oppose the renamimg because Kotoka is from the Volta Region. Is that the new critera (or should it be) for honoring Ghanaians. What was Kotoka being honored for?

Afenyo -Markin and all those against the renaming are telling ghanaians that bribery and corruption is acceptable..Rawlings did the same thing to Limann and got away with it.Rawlings overthrew the democratically elected government of Doctor Hilla Limann and that was treason punishable by death.

I just can't believe that there are ghanaians who are against the renaming of Kotoka International Airport.Supporting Kotoka,the corrupt,unpatriotic army officer who took 10 million dollars bribe from the CIA to stage a coup to overthrow the government of Ghana is unbelievable. Those against the renaming are corrupt,unpatriotic and tribalistic. They should bow down their heads in shame. Supporting the corruption,supporting this unpatriotic Kotoka is a crime against Ghana. The day parliament will change the name will be the happiest day in my life.It will remove a curse that has been hanging on Ghana for so long for honouring this corrupt,unpatriotic ghanaian.

Why is Afenyo-Markins playing the tribal card here? Trying to incite Voltarians against this name change is childish and must not be entertained. And who told him Voltarians see Kotoka as a hero or prominent person. He simply wants to use subtle means to advance a political agenda for his dying party. Naming a place after a person because he was killed there ,subjectively, smacks of irrational thinking. The issue of whether the change won't put food on our table or bring down flight tickets is neither here or there. A traitor cannot be honoured.

Reverting the name Kotoka International airport to Accra International airport is a step in the right direction. Apart rebranding the airport, it gives the airport a befitting name and identity, and some sanity. Already, a lot of national aviation refer to the airport as Accra International airport. The airport code ACC is shown on the ticket, boarding pass and luggage tag. I think Ghanaians must applaud the decision, it's long, long overdue.

Is the re-naming of the airport part of 24hr economy? or a new campaign message for vote in 2028? Please dont go there at all thus, kwame nkrumah was not a SAINT.

The whole thing is more tribal than politics. The Gas want to do away with anything that doesn't promote Ga culture. The ga people are behind all these because they say akwaaba isn't ga word so they changed akwaaba to obaake. If it's about coup then ndc party must was founded by a multi coup maker.

Ghana web, why give prominence to such senseless comments by so-called important persons in Ghana. What about the millions of ordinary people who support the proposed renaming? What about their views? It is a shame that we always allow the views of these people to determine what we should do or not do in Ghana. These people have always carried favours in decisions and look at where we are as a nation for allowing them to influence the policies and decisions we make as a nation. It’s time for us to ditch the views of these individuals. Let us move forward as a nation. That the airport was named after Kotoka to glorify his contribution to the callous and disgraceful overthrow of Dr Nkrumah is a fact. The corrupt regime then named it after him to reward the role he played in the 1966 coup. He was killed because of the role he played in that shameful coup.
As for Afenyo Markin what he said is so childish it is not worth commenting on. Prof Azar has gained the reputation of always going on the opposite side of what makes sense. Better to move forward than be derailed by these self seekers.
