No Political Party Assisted Me - Samia Nkrumah
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, December 22, Ghanadot - Samia Nkrumah, Member
of Parliament (MP) elect for Jomoro and daughter of Ghana’s
first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah has denied allegations
that it was through the help of the ruling party, New
Patriotic Party (NPP) that made her win the seat, adding
that the allegations are false and should not be taken
seriously.
“The daughter of Kwame Nkrumah comes and she said she wants
to contest and she wants to be faithful to the principles of
Nkrumah and you think a thousand Ghanaians would not come
forward to help her.
“Why would I need to go to any party either than the
Nkrumah’s? Individual Ghanaians helped me, I could not have
done this campaign without their support. The expense
was unbelievable and there was no way I could have done it
without the help of industrious sons and daughters of this
country”.
She said the legacy of her father played a very significant
role in her victory and that the Convention People’s Party (CPP)
complimented the legacy because they understood what Dr.
Kwame Nkrumah was trying to do for his country and people.
“We understood the principles of Nkrumaism, which are
liberation, social justice, unity and peace. We understood
what he was trying to do and that is what we told the people
of Jomoro.
“We are inspired by Kwame Nkrumah’s vision and his effort to
develop Ghana rapidly and we want to replicate that in a
small way in Jomoro. We want to make Jomoro a showcase and
this is how to start”.
To her, the CPP’s inability to win the December 7 election
was very disappointing. She also assured members that
together, they could build the party to achieve the great
causes that members expect of it.
According to her, visiting the people of her constituency
and knowing the needs of the people gave her sufficient
ideas for her campaign platform and that her own charisma as
a person daughter of Nkrumah also contributed a very
significant role.
When asked why she could not speak her father's language,
she explained how her family was forced to leave the country
at an earlty age in 1966 at the time of the first coup.
"i also often use my body language and the
help of my team to communicate effectively with my people"
she said, "and I think they did not only understand my
body language, they also understood the real message”.
“For me it was very important that I start from Nzema land
where the journey began for Kwame Nkrumah, I couldn’t just
go anywhere in Ghana, I needed a point of reference and that
was why I went back to Jomoro as a daughter who has
returned”.
The only CPP representative in next Parliament revealed that
politics is not about insulting your opponent or using
negative words and ideas, but rather going to the people you
want to lead and telling them about your dream to make their
community better and your wish to improve their lives.
She recommended that it would help the country a great deal
if politicians learned to engage in politics devoid of
dishonesty.
She commended the people of Jomoro for having the faith in
her to elect her to lead the constituency and assured she
will do everything possible to ensure that the community
becomes a place to behold.
