just to create & loote old system inflate cost on Ghana in the name of we changed the airport name. Is that name change inclusive in the 24hr economy ndc party leaders promised its citizens? or a new campaign message for 2028 elections?.18 tons of gold in 3 months missing i will talk on that later. Ghanaians citizens 21/22nd centuries onwards deserves better not only yours. Again, you Ghanaian citizens should stop too much deepending on the high class asking money etc,etc, any monent you meet them you are part of the messes later blame on them. will come back again.

The writer is only sounding regionalistic, but even the Volta region would not want to be associated with coup makers. Kotoka is a dent on the Development of Ghana. hE HIMSELF IS ALLEGED TO HAVE REGRETED the collective action to overthrow Nkrumah.

Misplaced Priorities? Check the cost of the cathedral pit & come again, you hypocritical writer- THAT IS MISPLACED PRIORITY. The Airport name will be changed to its Original name-PERIOD. Long overdue

I just wasted my 5 minutes reading gibberish. You never made a single intelligent point. All you did was "i'm from a particular region so keep the name of a national traitor on a national edifice" This should have been done during the era of PNDC. Thank God JM has the sense to take this on

Kotoka and his cohorts are murderers and killers of national dreams. Karma served him right in 1967. Sam Arthur and Yeboah should rather be national heroes for taking down that murderer. They thought they killed Charles Bawa and that was it? never. Sixty years is enough, another generation must not grow to see the name of that man on a national edifice as important as the Prime Airport of our beloved Country.

Who said anything about naming it after Nkrumah? Asking your own question and marking it, fool.

Had Kotoka been alive, he would have faced the firing squad alongside Afrifa.
Across the globe, statues and monuments honoring traitors are being dismantled; Kotoka’s legacy should suffer the same fate.

If we have to stay on course for the reset agenda in Ghana, many little things, according to this article must be done in unison. Most things must attract prioritization. This includes the overdue renaming of the Accra airport. In fact as soon as the legislation is passed, the minister should mount a ladder and chisel that name off as a symbolic gesture for the damage Kotoka has caused Ghana and Africa. Just visit the industrial area in Accra and look at the silo that was abandoned after 1966, the silos at Tema, the abandoned glass manufacturing factory at Aboso, just to name a few. The name at the airport is a strangulation on the psyche and development of Ghana.
If it is named after Kwame Nkrumah, visitors will link it to the memorial park and recognize the significance of the role Osagyefo played.
