Nkroful Chief summons NAPO to render unreserved apology over Nkrumah comment

The Chief of Nkroful, Nana Kwasi Kutuah together with the Nzema Manle have summoned the running mate of NPP, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh to Nkroful to render an unreserved apology to the kinsmen of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah over his attacks on his personality during his unveiling in Kumasi.

Although NAPO has issued an apology after his “Your Kwame Nkrumah” attack, the Chief of Nkroful, Nana Kwasi Kutuah together with the Nzema Manle at a press conference on Sunday, July 14, at Nkroful said NAPO’s posture of not admitting to insulting Nkrumah in his apology was defensive, hence must go to Nkroful to apologise for forgiveness.

“His comments where he alluded to using the phrase in our local Twi parlance as “Mo Kwame Nkrumah Nu” meaning “Your Kwame Nkrumah” smacks as gross disrespect against Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah and we condemn it with all alacrity. Dr. Prempeh’s comments are an affront to our democracy and have the potential to derail the peace and unity of the country.

“It is intriguing to note that his posture of not admitting to insulting Nkrumah in his release is not enough and we call on him to come again, since his claim is deemed hollow.

“Our attention has been drawn to various media publications that Dr Prempeh has rendered an apology to Nkrumah and other past Presidents of Ghana. We, therefore, demand Dr Prempeh come to Nzema to meet Nananom and the family of Dr. Nkrumah at Nkroful to render an unreserved apology to the kinsmen of the revered icon,” he demanded.

Surrounded by the Chiefs and People of Nzema, the Chief of Nkroful further cautioned politicians who want to thrive on undermining the legacy of Dr Nkrumah to get ready to face a big fight from Nzemas.

“We the Chiefs, people of Nkroful, Nzema and Western Region want to tell the World that we cherish the achievements of Dr. Nkrumah and will not allow anyone or group to bring the hard-won reputation of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah into disrepute.

“We would like to admonish all political actors and their followers to desist from denigrating the image of the “African of the Millenium” whom the World has accepted as a global icon. In conclusion, we would like to entreat all political actors and their followers to advocate messages that will unite, foster peace and development of our motherland, Ghana,” he added.
