Nkrumah sowed the seeds of violence and dictatorship in our politics and used that to eliminate his political opponents, create a one party state and made himself president for life because he was a communist. Nkrumah was already a "comrade" and communist disciple before he arrived in the Gold Coast. And as we all know, communists don't have a place for opposition in their system. Nkrumah therefore used the multiparty system as a stepping stone to ascend to power, and then turned around to demolish it step by step to prevent others from getting to power democratically until he was forced out of the country.
Also, when Rawlings usurped power from Dr. Liman in the 80s and unleashed his Cuban-Style Communist Dictatorship on Ghanaians; there were always attempted coups and rumours of coups until he was forced to reinstate the multiparty system with some semblance of democracy in the country. In a multiparty democracy and rule of law, the opposition and all stakeholders wait patiently for their turn to take power democratically. That is, if it is believed and confirmed that the incumbent is not using his position cunningly and unjustifiably to prevent others from coming to power democratically.
It's therefore clear from the above that democracy and the rule of law are the only guarantors of peace and preventers of political violence and not PDA.

Partisanship mixed with voodooism
Mahama is the most divisive Leader in Ghana.... just there to take vengeance on a section of the people because the colonialists neglected Northerners. So someone has to be punished for doneobes wrongs?... a vindictive divisionists almost a nihilist... venting his spleen on Akans for nothing. Thinking Tamale international airport is more important than Ksi airport... thinking Eastern corridor must take precedence over Accra- Kumasi road where the traffic is.... voodoo leadership indeed.
He disrespected the chiefs and people of E. Region and unilaterally located University at Somanya, for political reasons to win votes. Could NPP GOVT had located VOLTA university at Kpandu or Akatsi: bypassing Ho, the regional capital, without consulting the people and chiefs in Volta??
Are we doing political development or economical development. My foot NDC administration

I chose the library of addressing you as Ohene Nana Owusu-Nkwatabisa because of your well-written article calling for return to healthy discussion. As you can see from the comments partisanship & ethnic screaming still reign unabated.
To unleash Ghana's & Africa's long overdue developments we need to bury our tribalistic tendencies, work together to create indigenous political economy that is highly technological and sustainable.
I like your Black Stars metaphor. Our leaders have to knowledgeable about ICT, ecological & innovative.

Bear in mind that he used socialist principles to build housing projects and even "Temasek holdings" that owns Singapore Airlines and other corporations in Singapore is state owned.Nkrumah was never a communist.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. What do you call the man who hired Kwame Nkrumah as a UGCC organizer?
Don't feed on the trash perpetrated by partisanship.

Kwame, I cannot be more agreeable to such thoughtful elaborations. Ghana, and for that matter Africa, as you rightfully wrote cannot and must not follow blindly. Nkrumah made Africa proud by helping to gain our freedom some years back. He most often used illiterates to represensent Ghana as ambassadors to other countries. I do not think he thought that was the best thing to do, but this is what I think, I think he did that so he could manipulate them without any resistance. We see the same trend going on in our generation now. Our democracy is not like that of western cultures. We are unique, rich in culture, and will work particularly well by embracing our cultures as they are enshrined in our king making process. Every village or town enthrones the best mind of their subjects, those who have the good of the people, as well as the village at heart. As described by your article, I 100% am in favour of abolishing partisanship and going by what we know best of our own traditions and cultures. When we are strongly united, the westerners cannot break our front. We will be able to tap the resourses of Africa for the GOOD of the country. Africans have the best brains, yet for lack of good governance, we use these brains to help develop other nations while ours lay in waste. Let's fight and bring back the best ideas of our founding fathers, and dump down those ideas that set us back.
