From that moment, that National Monument to honour that man became a family graveyard. Do you see how his grave was desecrated?<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cEx-Presidents Mills and Mahama claim they\u2019re Nkrumahists, you have chopped into the man\u2019s name. All these were done before your eyes while in power and they didn\u2019t see? The compound is big, you could have dug a hundred and one holes and put Madam Fathia also there. Build a three-story building there, you did not have to do that under the same monument under which Dr Kwame Nkrumah was,\u201d Ex-President Rawlings fumed.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the issue, spokesperson for the former President, Frank Agyekum said his boss did not err in granting the last wish of dying Nkrumah\u2019s wife, Fathia Nkrumah.<\/p>\n<p>He said the late Fathia presented her wish to President Kufuor during one of his visits in Egypt that she should be buried beside her husband.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Agyekum said knowing the unsympathetic nature of Jerry Rawlings; it would not be a surprise that he would turn down Fathia\u2019s request.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 71 updated by: 4 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Tuesday, 12 December 2017 Source: AdomOline.com 2017-12-12 Former President John Agyekum Kufuor Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has responded to allegations leveled against him by Former President Jerry John Rawlings that he demeaned the legacy of Ghana\u2019s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah during his reign.
