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

Vice President of IMANI Africa, Selorm Branttie, has condemned what he calls attempts by some persons to alter Ghana's historical records to achieve their parochial interest.

His remark is in response to President Akufo-Addo’s recent statement rejecting the notion that Ghana was solely founded by Kwame Nkrumah. Akufo-Addo highlighted that the struggle for Ghana's independence was a collective effort spanning several generations.

“I speak to you this evening, rejecting completely, the notion that Ghana was founded by one man. While Kwame Nkrumah’s contributions to our independence are undeniable, it is important to acknowledge for ourselves that respect that the struggle for our nation’s freedom was a collective effort spanning several generations,” President Akufo-Addo said.

But Mr Branttie emphasised that Ghana's first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, was instrumental in establishing Ghana as a republic in 1960.

In an interview with Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Monday, Mr Branttie acknowledged President Akufo-Addo's view but emphasised Nkrumah's unique role. “There might be historical perspectives that I am unaware of, but the records show that one person, Kwame Nkrumah, was pivotal in advocating for self-government,” he said.
