What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Zuarungu (U/E), Aug 6, GNA – Former President John Dramani Mahama has described the Government’s decision not to recognise Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s first President, as the founder of Ghana as an attempt to “rewrite the history of the country.”

“…One of the things this government wants to do is to rewrite our history, and we will not allow it,” he said.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo acknowledged the significant contributions of Dr Nkrumah towards Ghana’s struggle for independence but believed that the fight was a collective one.

However, former President Mahama, while on a campaign tour of the Upper East Region, disagreed with that assertion, stating that although many others played key roles in securing Ghana’s independence, Dr Nkrumah’s leadership and contributions stood out and that made him the founder of Ghana.

“Yes, founding a nation takes a lot of people but there is always that one critical person whose sacrifices and efforts led to the attainment of the objective that everyone is working for,” Mr Mahama said.
