Sekou Nkrumah has strongly opposed the clever machinations being employed by the Nana Akufo Addo-led government to tarnish the hard-won reputation of his iconic father and first president of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
His comment is in reaction to a new history book – Golden History of Ghana for Basic 6 – which describes Kwame Nkrumah as a dictator that the government has allowed being taught in schools.
The outspoken political activist and social commentator contend that a serious government would have banned and removed the book from all schools rather than merely issue statements to the effect that the book is not approved and should not be used.
He blurted out;
‘The issue here is that the book in question ( Golden History of Ghana for Basic 6) is circulating in some of our schools( authorized or not)!
So the Nana Addo government is still to blame for allowing that book to be taught in schools under their leadership! A serious government will immediately remove ( ban) this book from all schools.
The press release of the National Council for curriculum and assessment distancing itself from the scandalous book is simply saving face and a lame attempt to shoot down the NDC’s criticism of this national embarrassment!’ Sekou Nkrumah asserted.
