NPP Will Restore Big Six On Ghana’s Banknotes When We Return To Power– Musah Superior Fires Warning

According to a report by Ghanaian citizen TV on Friday November 13, 2026, Former Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive, Iddrisu Musah Superior, has strongly criticised the decision to remove some historical personalities, including J.B. Danquah and other prominent national figures, from Ghana’s redesigned banknotes.

Musah Superior has described the development as politically motivated, arguing that the removal of these historical figures from the country’s currency raises concerns about how Ghana’s national history and political heritage are being represented.

According to the former MCE, the decision should not be treated as a simple redesign of the country’s banknotes, particularly because the personalities involved played significant roles in Ghana’s political history and the struggle for independence.

He believes that historical figures who contributed to the country’s development deserve recognition regardless of their political backgrounds or affiliations.

Musah Superior has therefore indicated that the next government led by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) should reverse the decision if the party returns to power.

He specifically called for the restoration of the Big Six on Ghana’s redesigned currency, insisting that their contributions to the country’s independence struggle should not be overlooked.

The Big Six, who occupy an important place in Ghana’s political history, are widely remembered for their involvement in the events that eventually led to the country’s independence from British colonial rule in 1957.

Musah Superior’s comments have added another dimension to the ongoing public discussion surrounding the redesigned Ghanaian banknotes and the personalities selected to feature on them.

The debate has attracted political attention, with concerns being raised over whether decisions concerning national symbols should reflect political interests or recognise the collective contributions of individuals who helped shape Ghana’s history.

For Musah Superior, restoring the historical personalities would be an important step towards preserving the country’s national heritage and ensuring that future generations continue to appreciate the contributions of the country’s founding figures.

His remarks also suggest that the issue of who appears on Ghana’s currency could become a subject of political debate ahead of the next general elections, particularly if the NPP makes the restoration of the Big Six part of its agenda.

As discussions continue, the controversy highlights the importance of national identity, historical recognition and the role of political leadership in determining how Ghana remembers its past.
