Nkrumah's birthday
The 2008 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party,
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has sent a birthday message in
celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ghana’s
first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Nana Akufo-Addo sees the occasion as appropriate for
Ghanaians, in particular, and Africans, in general, to join
hands to honour “one of Africa’s most important and
celebrated personalities, who contributed significantly in
shaping the direction and destiny of the continent and its
people in the twentieth century.”
He says, “This centenary celebration should help us revive
our can-do spirit as a people with a manifest destiny for
greatness. Let us use this period to renew our commitment to
the need for the rapid unification of the continent as the
most effective means of enhancing the wellbeing of the
African and her role in the world.”
Nana Akufo-Addo adds, “But, we should also use this
opportunity for a sober reflection on our painful past for
the purposes of strengthening our faith in the principles of
development in freedom, individual liberty, individual
prosperity, the rule of law, and respect for human rights
and the institutions of liberal democracy.”
He ends his message with these words, “Let us use this event
to honour the collective contribution of our forebears,
including Kwame Nkrumah, to Ghana’s independence struggle
and the inspiration that gave to our brothers and sisters in
the rest of colonised Africa.”
