Ghana's first president, Osagyefo Dr.
Kwame Nkrumah, had no sympathy for former Prime Minister after he was overthrown on January 13, 1972, by Lieutenant Colonel .
In a letter to Busia, Nkrumah mocked the former prime minister, asserting that he deserved the coup that had removed him from power.
Ghana's first president recalled how Busia had relentlessly criticized him without justification while he was in office, fabricating stories about his government, which ultimately contributed to Nkrumah's overthrow in 1966. "I am sure that you now realize that those who criticize others without bothering to assign good reasons for their criticisms eventually end up as victims of their own circumstances. "You will also appreciate the fact that those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind.
