Sekou Nkrumah: “CPP Is Joking About 2012”

Dr. Sekou Nkrumah has once again demonstrated his discontentment with almost everything but himself, by drawing the name of the CPP into ill repute. The disappointed former acting coordinator of the National Youth Council, Dr Sekou Nkrumah Sekou has again showed his gross ignorance of Ghana’s political terrain and its history.

Dr. Sekou’s looming assertion, stating that the “CPP is joking about 2012” in the media is something we rather consider as unfortunate and we don’t expect such comments to be coming from a man who has virtually lost credibility in the party that he claims to belong to. This is where we will take the opportunity to borrow H.E. Prof. John Evans Atta Mills words and restate them to suit the discussion. So we will say “ Dzi wo fie asem”.

Dr. Sekou must rather concentrate on sealing the cracks in his own party and rather stop poking his nose into matters that seemingly project him as an inexperienced and immature politician. Our stance is informed by the very inconsistent and controversial disposition that Dr. Sekou had exhibited in the past and whether his current criticism of the CPP is not the usual vintage Dr. Sekou in motion.

We wish to bring to the attention of Dr. Sekou Nkrumah and the few who think like him to realise that it is not the CPP that is JOKING but it must be him, Sekou Nkrumah. It must be understood that the fact that somebody is Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s child, does not give that person the mandate to assign him/herself as the instinctive spokesperson for the CPP.

We wish to clearly state here and now that the Convention People’s Party is not “FAMILY PARTY”; whether Nkrumah’s children support it or not, the CPP will still continue survive, even long after we are all dead and gone. The CPP is a party of the masses and whatever be the case, no power on this planet can subvert its ultimate decisive effect on political struggle for economic freedom.

We don’t have any problem about Dr. Sekou’s association with the NDC, but what we are concerned about is the fact that, how can Dr. Sekou claim to be a member of a party that broke down and overthrew the legacy of his father (the PNP) and what he stood for? Isn’t surprising to see the very people who have benefited and continue to benefit directly or indirectly from the bequest of the CPP turn their backs against it? Where is the conscience? Where is the moral authority?
