The statue of former President in Takoradi has been destroyed by unknown individuals, sparking intense discussions about leadership legacies and the symbolism of such acts.
Renowned investigative journalist weighed in on the incident, drawing historical parallels between the toppling of Akufo-Addo's statue and the decapitation of Dr. 's statue in 1966, following his ousting in a military coup.
In a Twitter post on January 15, 2025, Manasseh reflected on Nkrumah's enduring legacy and its lessons for contemporary leadership.
He recounted how the military regime that overthrew Nkrumah attempted to erase his memory by targeting cultural icons, including the Kpando Borborbor Band, which Nkrumah had adopted and renamed "Nkrumah's Own Borborbor Band." The regime confiscated the band's drums, arrested its founder Francis Nuatro, and decapitated Nkrumah's statue.
