Former CPP General Secretary, James Kwabena Bomfeh, a.k.a. Kabila, has come to the defense of President over his comments regarding Ghana's hero, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The President, speaking on Founders' Day, challenged the notion that Nkrumah was the only founder of Ghana, saying, "I speak to you this evening, rejecting completely the notion that one man founded Ghana. While Kwame Nkrumah's contributions to our independence are undeniable, it is important to acknowledge for ourselves that the struggle for our nation's freedom was a collective effort spanning several generations." He added, "Kwame Nkrumah, with his charismatic visionary leadership, was undoubtedly a major actor in the final lap of our journey to independence, and that is why, despite the several unfortunate things that happened after independence under his watch, Parliament in 2019 decided to memorialize his date of birth as Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day, the only Ghanaian so far to be so honored in our history." But the President, following his statement, has become a target for criticism, with some critics describing his comments as an affront to Kwame Nkrumah's legacy.
