Nkrumah Was Such A Brilliant Man That Only A Lunatic Could Claim Akufo Addo Is Superior To Him

Without a doubt, the most awful politician in Ghana’s political history is Akufo Addo, the current leader. The downfall of Ghana's economy, businesses, and investments can be attributed to his widespread corruption, incompetence, greed, and laziness. The president has been in power for almost eight years and couldn’t build a single project; therefore, I think it is only a lunatic who can say he is better than Nkrumah, the architect of Ghana’s independence, development, and international recognition.

Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana, was a global hero whose name speaks for itself due to his extreme intelligence and the remarkable achievements he accomplished both domestically and internationally to stop colonial brutality, resulting in Ghana's independence. However, despite being the driving force behind many African nations' fight for independence, the late leader had a large number of adversaries in his native Ghana who frequently plotted his assassination.

Without discussing what I have learned from Mr. Kwasi Pratt, a veteran journalist from Ghana who has the incredible history of Nkrumah at his fingertips, like a sophisticated dictionary providing important information to searchers, my article about Kwame Nkrumah will be pointless. He claimed that Nkrumah had a difficult relationship with the family of Akufo Addo, the current leader of Ghana. After Ghana gained its independence, some wanted the country to be known as "Akan Land," but Nkrumah objected.

Edward Akufo Addo and his relatives, like violent wild wolves to attack their prey, frustrated Nkrumah, and attacked his efforts to make Ghana great. They intended to obstruct Nkrumah's efforts to improve Ghana because they were envious of his notoriety and his ability to govern on a worldwide scale. It is not hyperbole to suggest that Akufo Addo inherited his father's immorality and jealousy, which is one of the reasons he let Mahama's uncompleted projects decay, yet, he was unable to build a single one.

These are the achievements of Kwame Nkrumah, the president, which the lunatics claim Akufo Addo is better than him. The current leader has cut more sods than any Ghanaian leader, since coming to power eight years ago, yet, hasn’t built a single project.

If Kwame Nkrumah can take on so many projects, and Akufo Addo has led Ghana for eight years without coming close to accomplishing anything, squandering the country's resources on questionable projects like the cathedral, his partnership with the governor of the Bank of Ghana to defraud the state by printing new currencies, his criminality exposed by Al Jazeera, and his money laundering exposed by the Belgian government, it is only someone sick in the head who will say that he is better than Nkrumah.

Ghanaians are devout Christians and Muslims coexisting in peace, but many are too far from God to hear the voice of that great invincible spirit. Since the Addo family's goal has been to ruin Ghana since the country's independence, what do Ghanaians think their country will become when Edward's descendants have acquired power? Considering that the NPP was unable to develop the party’s stronghold in the Ashanti Region, no reasonable Ghanaian should be expecting a miracle from this administration.

There is a reason why Nkrumah established Ghana as a one-party state: he wasn’t a greedy man. Hunger would strike the country if Ghanaians support the NPP government, thus I will counsel every wise Ghanaian to work toward toppling this dreadful administration so that the populace might benefit from their resources.
