Kufuor: Obama’s visit to Ghana is not because of oil
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot

Accra, July 11, Ghanadot - Former president J. A. Kufuor has discarded submission from critics that the motive for US President Barack Obama’s visit to Ghana was the country’s newly discovered oil.

He said Mr. Obama was an inspiration not only to African leaders, but also African youth in general because the African youth must be thinking “if our brother there could do it, we too can do it. We could help lift Africa up quickly”.

“Given any situation, there will always be doubters and cynics, but I tell you, I sense so much humanity in this leader, this president, said Kufuor.

Speaking on BBC’s with Ghana’s Komla Dumor the former president said Ghana is the obvious choice for President Obama because what Ghana has to offer is vast in terms of her understanding as far as democracy is concerned.

Former president Kufuor maintained that the White House chose Ghana over President Obama’s ancestral home, Kenya, Africa’s economic hub, South Africa, and Ghana’s regional rival, Nigeria because Ghana is the first south of the Sahara to gain independence, and that to him, “it is a part of her destiny to set the pace in Africa.”
