Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has commemorated 58th anniversary of the overthrow of Ghana\u2019s first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.<\/b><\/p>\n

On 24th February, 1966, President Nkrumah was ousted from office through Ghana\u2019s first-ever coup d\u2019etat.<\/p>\n

In a press release to mark the day, signed by its General Secretary, the NDC said, \u201cThat day will be remembered as Ghana\u2019s day of shame, as the coup truncated Nkrumah\u2019s transformational vision which he had set in motion for the accelerated development and industrialisation of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInstructively, the coup was executed by security personnel with the active orchestration of the forbears of those at the helm of affairs of our country today, in close collaboration with their foreign pay masters,\u201d the party alleged.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis nation-wrecking act was followed by a deliberate agenda by the Danquah-Busia- Dombo tradition to obliterate the memory of Nkrumah by attacking his works and legacy. Despite their determined efforts to rewrite history, the memory of Kwame Nkrumah lives on, and his legacy remains unparalleled,\u201d the press release read.<\/p>\n

According to the NDC, \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOsagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah truly never dies,\u201d release concluded.<\/p>\n
