The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on Ghanaians to stay firm on the path of democracy and reject any form of coup d’etat.
Commemorating 58 years after the unfortunate overthrow of Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr.Kwame Nkrumah, the NDC noted that, the day will be remembered as Ghana’s day of shame, as the coup truncated Nkrumah’s transformational vision which he had set in motion for the accelerated development and industrialisation of our country.
The Coup according to the NDC was led by those at the helm of affairs of the country today, in close collaboration with their foreign pay masters adding that, the nation-wrecking act was a deliberate agenda by the Danquah-Busia-Dombotradition to obliterate the memory of Nkrumah by attacking his works and legacy.
In a statement signed by the party’s national chairman, Asiedu Nketiah, the party said “despite their determined efforts to rewrite history, the memory of Kwame Nkrumah lives on, and his legacy remains unparalleled. We must say never again to such acts of treachery, that have set our nation back and rolled back the clock of progress by several years”.
“Ghanaians must reject those whose mission is not to pursue the path of democracy for the upliftment of our citizens, but their selfish quest for historical revisionism and the recognition of their ancestors”, the NDC said in a statement.
