Mahama wades into Founders’ Day debate
Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has waded into the raging Founders’Day debate.
According to him the New Patriotic Party (NPP) cannot rewrite the history of Ghana.
“The United Gold Coast Convention(UGCC), at the time said independence gradually, in the shortest possibly time. Nkrumah said, Independence now, and he fought for it,” he said.
John Mahama said, it is for this reason that Ghanaians recognised Osagyefo Dr.Kwame as the founder of the country, adding that no one can rewrite the country’s history.
He finally added that “For those of you who don’t know, when the Queen agreed to give us our independence, the UGCC that Nana Akufo-Addo is fighting to be recognised as the founder’s of Ghana wrote a petition and sent people to England to tell the Queen not to grant independence because the country was not ready.”
