Since when is the word TERRORIST synonymous to a DEMOCRAT? In the warp world of the Mate Mehu NLM/UP/PP/PFP/NPP - all die be die.
Such are these people whose definition of democracy stops short of rule of law; rules and regulations; law and order; who forcibly remove a democratic government from power because they claim to be the predestinated to rule Oman Ghana and hence called every election (1951,1954 and 1956) rigged even under British rule. These are sour losers. It is their way, or the Highway.
Would Agyepong call the terrorist who murdered 12 Charlie Hebdo journalists in cold blood democrats? His terrorist forebears did worst than that. They were throwing bombs when Osama Bin Laden was a toddler and AlQaeda was not a threat.

Yes, we must all thank the late Prof Kofi Abrefa Busia for the sound DEMOCRACY HE INSTITUTED IN THE COUNTRY during his short spell as a Prime Minister.
It is these Democratic principles coupled with others like the Centre for Civic Education that have all entrenched in our civil society for the betterment of the citizenry.
This had been an absolute contrast to the misrule of DICTATOR KWAME NKRUMAH, a man we all had to look over our shoulders before we could call his name, for fear of being arrested by his Ghana Young Pioneers.
A man (Dictator Nkrumah) who instituted COMMUNISTIC and DICTATORSHIP REGIME on the good people of Ghana that turned our days into nights.
A man who tried to follow his personal instincts of becoming President of Africa, thus gave away MILLIONS OF POUNDS to many African Leaders to support his cause at the expense of the Ghanaian Taxpayer.
A man who set up DICTATORSHIP at HOME and TERRORISM ABROAD, by engaging HITMEN to ASSASSINATE his Political opponents offshore.
A man who became SUPREME over GOD, by worshipping his KANKAN NYAME IDOL which was Imported from Guinea.
Very many Ghanaians, including myself lined up to his former residence of the Flagstaff House to witness that after his overthrow.
It was a moment that most of us would NEVER FORGET IN OUR POLITICAL HISTORY.
There were many Political Prisoners at the Cape Coast Castle, Nsawam, Accra and elsewhere. Many of them died in their incarceration.
Nkrumah ruled Ghana as his own private entity, thus his refusal to appoint a DEPUTY ( unless some of his manufactured people can tell us who his Deputy was).
Now we have someone like Prof Akosa telling us that the late Prof Busia was not a Democrat. Well the records are there for any sensible person to verify for themselves.
People propagating Nkrumah's opponents as terrorists are all shallow minded IDIOTS. Unless perhaps, they can point a finger at a particular person who had ever been arrested for trying to kill the former DICTATOR.
If anything, those people were actually from within the Dictator's own CAMP, such as Ako Adjei, Kofi Crabbe, Tawiah Adamafio, Obetsebi Lamptey, Malam Mama Tule and many others.
Tell us any UGCC Member, or the Opposition in that respect who had ever been identified for being responsible for such mayhem.
When Nkrumah felt that his quest to become President of Africa had deluded him, he quickly identified those Leaders responsible and sent his HITMEN TO KILL THEM. But they were NOT successful.
So YOU NKRUMAH MANUFACTURED PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE US A BREAK AND FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO!!!

This professor is being bias,hypocrite.
Who brought FREEDOM OF SPEECH once more,to Ghanaians,that NKRUMAH took from us?
HIS NAME IS MR.K.A BUSIA.
He changed NKRUMAH'S DICTATORSHIP,TYRANNICAL RULE,FEARS,MURDER ETC,HE LORDED OVER GHANAIAN CITIZENS INTO REAL TIME DEMOCRACY.
Ghanaians started to enjoy FREEDOM & JUSTICE,NKRUMAH was touting about,but never implemented them.
The YOUNG PIONEERS were trained as spies for NKRUMAH,TO THE EXTENT THAT,EVEN PARENTS FEARED THEIR OWN CHILDREN IN THE YOUNG PIONEER MOVEMENT.
I never joined it because of the reasons I have stipulated above.
I was 14 years old when NKRUMAH was overthrown,and could read the daily graphic and Ghanaian times,that I was selling every morning.
THE SAME TO bUSIA'S TIME.
Therefore,I could easily strike the difference in their governance.
Kwame NKRUMAH COULD HAVE SCORED VERY HIGH,IF HE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE TO THE EAST IN SUPPORT OF THE RUSSIANS,INSTEAD OF THE WEST,IN THE COLD WAR
Hence his dictatorship.
Busis,on the other hand,was with the WEST.
The whole thing is:
HE WAS NOT LEFT TO TELL ALL HIS STORY.

After putting down the facts as they are then we can let everybody draw their conclusions. CONCLUSIONS MAY BE VARIED BUT THE TRUE FACTS must be made available to Ghanaians.The conclusions Akosa is drawing to me are sound. A true democrat fight and wins battles in democratic way. Look at Akuffo Addo, he thought that he won the last elections, he did not go and instigate some soldiers to throw bombs or take over power as Busia and his cohorts did. Akoffo Addo is standing again and whatever happens whether he loses or wins we can always say that he is a democrat.

Bad leadership in Ghana was started by Nkrumah. In fact all our problems started with him. Nkrumah was a dictator and very ambitious. He introduced one party rule in Ghana and made himself life president. He was neither caring, compassionate, visionary, smart nor politically savvy. Most of the things he took credit for had been started by the British, our colonial masters. For instance Tema Motorway was on the drawing board when he took over and Akosombo Dam was not his brainchild. KNUST was established by Asantehene and the British. Surprisingly, most of the things he takes credit for were never initiated by him
Independence, for instance, was sought for by many and achieved under the aegis and cunningness of Kofi Nwiah, trickster and schemer extraordinaire. Well, all along I have been asking how and under what circumstances "Francis Kofi Nwiah" was able to change his name to "Kwame Nkrumah". I know that it is permissible for anybody to change his name anytime he or she wishes but it is strange and beyond comprehension for one to change his birthday from Friday to Saturday ie from Kofi to Kwame. This is what makes me suspicious of Kofi Nwiah or Kwame Nkrumah. He claimed that his date of birth was 21st September 1909. This day according to the 20th century Calendar was a Tuesday!!! So was Nkrumah born on a Tuesday, a Friday or a Saturday? We must find out what he was up to with all these very strange findings. He was indeed cunning and only preyed on the emotions of the Ghanaian masses. It was my wish that the president would set up a committee to investigate before declaring Nkrumah's "unknown" birthday a holiday.
When he took over we had trade surplus running into millions of Pound Sterling but when he was forced out we had a trade deficit of several million pounds sterling!! This was the result of bad governance. He should have been overthrown earlier than 1966. We all saw good governance under K4. To me K4 is the best president Ghana has ever had. Kuffour is the greatest. We thank Kotoka and Afrifa for stoping the dictator in his tracks. Ayekoo Kotoka and Afrifa. The Kotoka Air Port should never be renamed

The leaders of NPP like to point fingers at Nkrumah and call him communist and dictator, yet in truth, every Busia/ Danquah group has portrayed the very characteristics they like to associate with others.
1. They treat and talk about their past leaders like they were flawless and gods.
2. During their time in office, every bit of dictatorship and intolerance has always been exhibited. Plus intolerance out of gov't.
3. They never ever accept election defeats.
The rest is better never mentioned.
The truth is that, both Nkrumah and Busia personally had good intentions for Ghana but as humans, they made personal errors.
If the NPP narratives the stories of both leaders without the prejudices, may be, others will let sleep dogs lie.

Busia's entire life and studies in Britain were paid for by the whole country--the best scholarship one can ever have. During the struggle for independence, Busia went to Britain and told the British Gov't not to grant independence to his own country; pretending that there were not enough learned people in the country to take over the administration. The self- government was however granted and he tried to be the Prime-minister and when that failed him, Busia tried (by all means) to overthrow the democratically elected gov't of Ghana which he succeeded in 1966 through Kotoka and Afrifa. When he returned from his self-imposed exile, Busia advised the then NLC gov't to end the free education system that had been started by the CPP gov't; this is because it was started by his enemy. How can one call this man a Democrat? His whole aim was to become the Prime-minister regardless of the consequence on the future generation. Busia had no sympathy for the future generations behind him. His death was because, Afrifa deceived him by using his money to set up his party when the NRC started the Unigov campaign. Busia gave him the money to revive the Progress party and make Mr J.H. Menash the flagbearer but that was not Afrifa's cake so he swindled, used the money for his own party and this resulted Busia's heart attack and eventual death. He was paid in his own coin.

Busia reled from 1966 till his overthrow. During that period we saw some of the most repressive laws in the country. These included the ban of CPP members running for office and outright delaration of "No court, No vourt" in the Salla case. Forgive my son, Kwabena Agyapong. Oye abofra.

P/NDC and NPP Are Anti-organized Labour
The P/NDC and NPP are essentially two sides of the same coin – and the value is the same: anti-labour movement and the destruction of the capacity-building process the CPP administration had put in place for human capital formation of Ghana. The outcome of this anti-worker stance of the P/NDC and NPP administrations has been the out-migration of highly skilled and highly educated Ghanaians to other African countries, Europe and North America; impoverishment of the masses of the people to the benefit some few rich people – the ugly divide of the country into the few wealthy and the majority poor; and the intensification of the economic divide between the north and south portions of the country.
The anti-worker stance of the NPP and the P/NDC administrations date back to the attempts of the Daquah-Busia tradition to destroy the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC). The TUC was formed in 1945 when 14 unions came together under a central coordinating body. When the NLC (the CIA cronies) assumed power in the 1966, the NLC systematically adopted anti-worker policies to erode the power of the labour movement.
The TUC was to suffer an even more serious setback with the return to civilian rule in 1969. The Busia-led Progress Party (PP), which won the 1969 elections, had been in opposition to the CPP before and after independence. It was not known to be a natural ally of workers and their unions. Indeed the claim was made that many of the party's leaders had “a class-based disdain for union leaders.”
There was soon to be cause for confrontation between the Busia government and the TUC. At the third biennial congress of the TUC held in August 1970, a resolution was passed calling for a 100 per cent increase in the minimum wage (from ? 0.75 to ? 1.50). The request was turned down by the Busia government as unreasonable and potentially inflationary. Given the initial mutual suspicions, and fearing that a national strike might be called to support the demand for an increase in the minimum wage, the Busia government decided to strike first at the TUC. On 13 September 1971, under a certificate of urgency, Parliament passed the Industrial R elations (Amendment) Act 1971 (Act 383) to replace the Industrial Relations Act 1965 (Act 229). The new Act dissolved the TUC with immediate effect and empowered the government to appoint a board of receivers to dispose of all the properties of the TUC. The new Act also abolished the check-off system for collecting membership dues to fund the TUC.
The Busia government argued that the TUC, as set up by the Industrial Relations Act of 1965 was undemocratic and an infringement on the rights of workers to associate freely. The new Act 383, therefore, in addition to dissolving the TUC provided that: “Any group of trade unions shall have the right to constitute themselves into any association, federation, confederation or congress of trade unions for the attainment of their common aims .” There ca n be no doubt that the primary motivation for introducing the Industrial Relations Act of 1971 was to disorganize and weaken the labour movement. However, the government was able to claim that the Act of 1971 was for the “purposes of protecting the rights or freedoms of other persons in terms of the spirit of the constitution.”
Meanwhile the formation of a new Ghana Confederation of Labour (GCL), which appeared to have the progress Party's blessing, signaled the makings of a union split roughly along moderate-militant lines. The GCL had in fact been set up by four non-TUC unions (claiming 33,000 members) in August prior to the passage of the new Act in September, but this matter of timing in no way lessened the suspicions of its opponents that the GCL was a government puppet.
Soon after the passage of Act 383, J. H. Mensah warned that any strike action initiated by the Bentum or other TUC leaders would be regarded as politically motivated and therefore illegal. Even though the TUC's 17 member unions resolved to form a new federation with Bentum as Secretary-general, they were aware that this body had no guarantee of registration under the yet unstated terms in the Act 383. Act 383 was repealed when Acheampong military regime gave the Busia administration the boot.
The PNDC that transformed itself into NDC did not treat labour unions any better. The P/NDC administration by adopting the IMF/World Bank mandated ERP and SAP programmes introduced labour retrenchment policies through privatization and trade liberalization as an attack on workers. The P/NDC assault on organized labour started in 1982.

The Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition is anti-democratic and violent
The NPP prouds itself as a chip of the block of the Busia-Danquah-Dombo (BDD) tradition. What NPP does not tell Ghanaians is that this tradition is anti-democratic and has a tendency to use violence to achieve its selfish ends.
The Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition has paraded on the Ghanaian political scene under various names as Northern People's Party led by S. D. Dombo; Ghana Congress Party with Busia, Obetsibi-Lamptey and Danquah among its leaders; Togolese Congress Party with S. G. Antor as its leader; National Liberation Movement (matemeho) with Busia, R. R. Amponsah, Victor Owusu, J. A. Kufuor among its leaders; UP (an amalgamation of Dombo's NPP, the Busia-led NLM and S. G. Antor's TCP) with Da Rocha, R. R. Amponsah, Danquah, Busia, Kwesi Lamptey, Obetsibi, Dombo, E. Akufo-Addo and Victor Owusu among its leaders; Progress Party with Busia, William Ofori Atta, E. Akufo-Adddo, Victor Owusu, R. R. Amponsah, Haruna Esseku, Prof. F. T. Sai, and J. A. Kufuor among its leaders.
The Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition is anti-democratic. At its inception in the immediate post-WWII politics in Ghana, the Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition did not believe in the use of universal adult suffrage through the ballot box to elect representatives to rule the country.
The BDD wanted chiefs to appoint representatives to the national legislative assembly. At its intransigent insistence and in cahoots with colonial administration, the first national legislative assembly of 1951 consisted of appointed and elected members. When the CPP emerged as the winner of the ballot box process, the BDD resorted to federalism, separation (matemeho) and violence to have its way of excluding the youthful CPP, nkwankwaa and merantee (the natural opponents of the chiefs) from the governance of the country. The merantee, nkwankwaa and the youth were fighting against the chiefs who were conniving with the British through the Native Authority system of indirect rule to perpetuate colonial rule. The nefarious indirect rule in which the chiefs were not held accountable to the people had J. B. Danquah as its prominent supporter. When Nkrumah mobilized the youth and progressive thinking people to agitate for the end of the colonial rule, he became a hated man because he sought to expand the democratization of governance of the country to include the youth and the non-royal people – the so-called verandah boys. With formation of CPP and subsequent success of the CPP in 1951, 1954 and 1956 elections, J. B. Danquah, K. A. Busia, and their self-centered nation wreckers, introduced into Ghana politics violence because they could not stand Nkrumah and the CPP winning the hearts of the populace.
The Busia-Danquah-Dombo escalated violence in the country because, as they put it in their own words, they wanted to make Ghana “ungovernable.” Kumasi was literally turned into a “war zone” and a “no-go area” for the CPP between 1954 and 1956. The violence from the Busia-Danquah-Dombo front escalated in the 1960s until the eventual violent overthrow of Nkrumah and the CPP in 1966. The following is a short list of some of acts of violence and terrorism of the Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition:
1. In 1958, there was a plot to assassinate Nkrumah at the airport and then overthrow the CPP government as Nkrumah was about to leave for a state visit to India. The plot was discovered and the plotters were arrested.
2. On July 7, 1961, two bombs exploded in Accra, one wrecking Nkrumah's statue in front of the Parliament House.
3. In September 1961, there was a conspiracy among the senior Ghanaian military officers, but the plot collapsed because of the death of the chief conspirator Brigadier General Joseph E. Michel in an airplane crash.
4. On August 1, 1962, as Nkrumah was returning from a state visit to Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso), and had gotten out of his car to speak to the school children in the crowd that had gathered to greet him at Kulungungu, a bomb contained in a bouquet carried to him by a schoolgirl, exploded; it killed several school children and injured many others. The victim's bodies bled from cuts caused by the splinters from the bomb. Nkrumah sustained a serious injury but he refused to have any device to deaden his pain while the operation went on.
5. On September 9, 1962, another bomb exploded near the Flagstaff House, where the Ghana Young Pioneers Orchestra Band was entertaining the audience to modern Ghanaian Music. The explosion killed one person and injured many others.
6. On September 18, 1962, two bombs exploded in Accra killing and injuring many people. One of these bomb blasts occurred in Lucas House in Accra, where nine children fell dead on the spot with their intestines gushed out of their bodies.
7. September 20, 1962, two bombs exploded in Accra, killing and injuring several people.
8. On September 22, 1962, there was another bomb explosion in Accra.
9. On January 11, 1963, another bomb exploded at a CPP rally at the Accra Sports Stadium shortly after Nkrumah had left the scene. This explosion killed over twenty people and more than four hundred people were injured; among the victims were children of the Young Pioneer movement.
10. January 1, 1964, a police officer, Seth Ametewe, was posted on guard duty at the Flagstaff House to assassinate Nkrumah. His five shots missed Nkrumah, but succeeded in killing his personal security officer, Sgt. Salifu Dagarti.
The question is: what government would permit these primitive and terrorist methods of attack by an opposing political party? In the light of these senseless, barbaric bomb attacks against the founder of Ghana, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the Young Pioneers and other school children, how was the CPP government going to protect and develop the newly independent State of Ghana? The main reason for the repeated bomb attacks against the Ghana Young Pioneers was that Nkrumah's enemies saw in the Ghana Young Pioneers movement the source of permanent power if allowed to last for at least one generation or 35 years. At any rate, given Dr. J. B. Danquah's hostility towards the democratic process and given his open statement during the Jackson Commission of 1958 indicating that the laws of Ghana did not apply to him, was it surprising that he resorted to undemocratic and violent methods?
The violent nature of the Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition has manifested itself in a number of atrocities directly perpetuated by the NPP or indirectly as the NPP administration has failed to curb these atrocities in recent years since NPP assumed power in 2001. The NPP had a tyrant called Edumaze as a regional minister for the Central Region. He did not only physically brutalized and intimidated the vulnerable. He also took the law into his own hands when he confiscated a taxi cab in Suhum in the Eastern Region and had it taken to Cape Coast in the Central Region because the taxi driver had crossed his motorcade.
Under the Kufuor administration, the Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition has turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to atrocities meted out the Ya Naa, the Dagbon Paramount chief and his followers in 2001. The Paramount chief of Dagbon area in Ghana was killed alongside 40 of his subjects in a 12 hour firefight at his palace in Tamale. The Police and the Military were fully aware of the fighting going on. The regent was killed and his head was portrayed as a trophy in the streets of Tamale. No one has been held responsible for such atrocities.
In 2001 at the Accra Sports Stadium, 126 people were trampled to death in a stampede caused by trigger-happy police. This world's worst atrocity at a sporting event did not result anyone being held accountable for it.
In 2004 Alhaji Mobilla, the CPP chairman of Tamale went to Tamale Police Station and was taken to a Military guardroom where he was beaten to death, YES BEATEN TO DEATH IN CUSTODY IN GHANA! The medical officer's report was clear, homicide, tortured to death! None of the guards at the Police Station or the Military Guardroom have been arrested or on trial for this heinous killing. This happened under the watch of so-called apostles of human rights. Apparently, Mobilla's human rights were not important to Attorney General Akufo-Addo.
The brutal murder of 44 Ghanaians in the Gambia occurred on the watch of Akufo-Addo as the foreign minister. It was at this ministry that Akufo-Addo did nothing as Ghanaian passports were being smuggled and sold to non-Ghanaians.
The country has been plagued by contract killings and violent armed robberies. Ennim, President of Ashanti Journalists Association, was killed at Kumasi in a public place. Rokko Frimpong, a banker, was killed at Tema as he returned from work to his house. Land guards have been hacking people to death in Accra and the NPP administration has done nothing about these atrocities as the administration has failed to either curb or punish the perpetrators of these violent atrocities.
Within NPP's own ranks there have been acts of violence at Bekwai, Suhum and Agogo. The NPP has had skirmishes with its political opponents at Gushiegu, Tamale; Odododiodio, Accra; and other places. The NPP has resorted to open voting buying to win the 2008 elections. This open vote buying was done at NPP rally at Kasoa. Attendants at the rally were given money. Some party functionaries in the rural areas have been given 2 million cedis($200) each and half-piece (six yards) cloth each. I know this to be true in the Assin areas of Manso and Fosu.
Another menace plaguing the country is the drug menace. Akufo-Addo, the NPP Presidential candidate, is believed to have ordered the reversal of the confiscation order that had been used to seize the properties of one R. Amankwah said to be related to Akufo-Addo. This de-confiscation occurred when Akufo-Addo was the Attorney General – the country's chief law enforcing officer - in the NPP administration. This notorious drug trafficker, Amankwah has been arrested in Brazil. During Akufo-Addo's watch as the Attorney General, three narcotic peddling people (Abenaa Foriwaa, Comfort Akua Amankwaa, and Ama Nyarkoa) NPP officers from Dzorwulu, Accra were arrested at the Accra International smuggling cocaine, but the authorities that be ordered the freeing of these three women party officers of the ruling NPP. We all know how the country was disgraced when a sitting NPP parliamentarian – Eric Amoateng - was arrested and later jailed in the United States for drug smuggling and drug trafficking. We witnessed the frantic efforts the NPP made to help Amoateng out of the US jail. For almost a year, Amoateng's seat in parliament would not be declared vacant for re-election to fill that seat.
The NPP does not only have a violent streak in its nature, it isanti-democratic despite the noise the party has been making that it has ushered a “democratic dispensation” in the country since 2001. The Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition are anti-democratic. At the very beginning of the foundation of what has become the modern nation-state of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah exposed these anti-democrats of the Busia-Danquah-Dombo as follows in a 1955 speech:
“In those days our opponents attacked us for believing the party system to be an indispensable instrument in the working of parliamentary democracy. In those days, when the youth, the workers, the farmers, the co-operative societies and the ex-servicemen, through the organization of the CPP were vigorously castigating imperialism and colonialism and were struggling to be free, our opponents chose to denounce us as a pack of 'irresponsible and unruly verandah boys.' They shamelessly allied themselves with the forces of imperialism and rejoiced at our misfortunes and difficulties.
“And yet when the very colonial power which has dominated us for the past hundred years now offers us our freedom and independence and tells us to make arrangements for it, some of our own Chiefs and disgruntled and disappointed politicians are doing their utmost to sabotage the very cause for which we have fought undaunted. I ask you: Are the suffering masses of this new Ghana of ours going to stand for that? The reason they adopt such tactics is because they fear democracy and the common man, and they try to camouflage such fears by undermining the party system and the parliamentary democracy we have been able to introduce into the country.” I have already in the earlier paragraphs alluded to Danquah's hostility towards the democratic process and mentioned his open statement during the Jackson Commission of 1958 indicating that the laws of Ghana did not apply to him.
The anti-democratic nature of the Busia-Danquah-Dombo tradition became more evident during the administration of the Progress Party under the leadership of Busia. J. A. Kufuor was a deputy minister for foreign affairs and F. T. Sai was the minister of health in the Busia administration. Even though Busia prided himself as a democrat and wrote a book, “Democracy in Africa” his administration sought to dismantle the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS). His administration did dismantle the Trades Union Congress (TUC). NUGS and the TUC are two of the well-established civil society organizations in the country that facilitated the broadening of participation of the citizens in the democratic process.
The TUC was dismantled with the passage in parliament of a new labour act in 1971 – Act 383. On 13 September 1971, under a certificate of urgency, Parliament passed the Industrial R elations (Amendment) Act 1971 (Act 383) to replace the Industrial Relations Act 1965 (Act 229). The new Act dissolved the TUC with immediate effect and empowered the government to appoint a board of receivers to dispose of all the properties of the TUC. The new Act also abolished the check-off system for collecting membership dues to fund the TUC. This anti-labour, anti-democratic law has been re-introduced under the NPP administration as the Labour Act of 2003 (Act 651). The Act 653 has consolidated many laws, some dating from 1965. It also established the National Labour Commission to promote co-operation between Labour and Management and provide for effective dispute resolution.

The same reasons for the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah were the same reasons that motivated the overthrow of the Busia regime. Those who criticise other people as Busia did, without bothering to assign good reasons eventually end up as victims of their own circumstances. Between the governments of the CPP and the Progress Party, the value was the same. Two dictators that proved that Ghana was not yet ready for independence. It doesn't seem we have ever been ready to govern ourselves. Well, like Nkrumah said we had the right to misgovern.

current generations of Ghana should not allow the busia-danquah tradition deceive them into believing that Kwame Nkrumah was a bad man. the youth of today should endeavour to do research into who were Kwame Nkrumah and Abrefa Busia and what each of them did to mother Ghana when they were alive. They should also try to find out why is it that Kwame Nkrumah is well known all over the world but nothing is known about Abrefa Busia? Kwame Nkrumah is a world known figure because of his role in fighting for the emancipation of the black man whereas Abrefa Busia and his bloody accomplices, including the late father of akuffo addo, one Edward akuffo addo allowed themselves to be used by the colonial masters to undermine the people of Ghana. they recruited and incited Ghanaian soldiers, late Generals Kotoka and Afrifa to take up arms on 24th February 1966 and staged the first coup d'état against our first visionary, honest and hardworking president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of blessed memory. General Afrifa was alleged to have personally gunned down one of the finest military officers of the Ghana armed forces, General Bawa at the flag staff house. after killing a lot of innocent and hard working Ghanaians, general Afrifa handed over power to Afrifa Busia in 1969 on a silver platter after ensuring that followers of the CPP were banned from participating in a questionable elections organised by the military junta then. was it therefore surprising that in 2012, this same busia-danquah tradition wanted to apply a similar method by requesting the supreme court to cancel over 5million votes of legitimate Ghanaians so that political power to be given to them on a silver platter?. just imagine what Ghana would have been today, if busia and his team of nation wreckers had not ousted Kwame Nkrumah in the 60s. Ghana would have been a heaven on earth. ever since the events of the 24th February 1966, Ghana has not been able to find her right feet up to today? Ghana seriously needs deliverance because of the atrocities committed against mother Ghana by Busia and his accomplices.

when Kwame Nkrumah tried to unite Ghanaians as one people with a common destiny, Abrefa Busia and his tradition cherished and encouraged tribalism in the country. when in the eyes of Kwame Nkrumah of blessed memory, all Ghanaians should see themselves as one people although they come from different tribles, Abrefa Busia and his tradition encouraged the akan tribes to look down on other tribes as if they were inferior. the current leader of the Busia-Danquah tradition, boldly emphasised on this mentality when he said 'YEN AKANFUO' as if the other tribes don't matter in Ghana. it was also rumoured that if the current president of Ghana was an Akan there would not have been the need to go to the supreme court to challenge his presidency.

Again, tell us who decided to form tribal politics until the communist, Kwame decided enough is enough and forced them to unite. I wonder what the NPP would look like today if by some twist of fortune, Nkrumah forced them to have a national outlook.

If you care to know, Busia was not a democrat. Ask me why. He didn't accept a court ruling on one Mr. Sallah and declared, "No court...". He and his chronies didn't made laws to ban the CPP from competing in elections. He and his chronies made laws to stop people from possessing just pictures of Dr. Nkrumah. He and his chronies in fact banned the TUC and took over the TUC building provided by Dr. Nkrumah. The above and many other actions taken by Busia show that he was a very bad leader.

A country that claims to be democratic,can't implement DICTATORSHIP IN GOVERNANCE.
If NKRUMAH didn't bring dictatorship in his governance,Busia,wouldn't have vacated his post,as the minority leader,to go to England.
Therefore,Busia shouldn't be blamed for that.

No more Nkrumaism, CPP, dictaorship, one-party state or Young Pioneers.In the next election CPP will get only .01%. Even Kwame Nkrumah's own son Sekou Nkrumah is ashamed of CPP and described it as a sunken ship
APARTHEID South Africa was worse than Ghana's dictatorship under Nkrumah and yet, Busia made friends with them and loved that system and her leaders. Check the true history not the propaganda.
BUSIA WAS A TALKING MORE DO LESS LIKE NANA ADDO
TWO THIEVES PLUS A THIRD ONE, KUFUOR.
Busia sold Ghana to the western countries and that was the beginning of our suffering.
Busia sold what to who? If so, what is preventing you from taking it back?

Indeed busia was a bad leader n I dnt even think people shld talk abt him period
Akosa, don't worry Ghanaians today know much more than Agyapong or whatever u call it. It is the no. one reason why Akufu can not be prz. It is going to be another reason for npp not expanding.
