The family of the late Victor Owusu, former Attorney General and 1979 flagbearer of the Popular Front Party (PFP), has issued a scathing statement accusing the leadership of the (NPP) of deliberately erasing his legacy from the party's political history.
In the statement sighted by GhanaWeb, the family condemned what they described as "an act of historical vandalism" and called on party leadership to rectify the omission immediately. "It is a matter of grave historical concern and legal impropriety that Victor Owusu's name, image, and monumental contribution to the Danquah-Dombo-Busia political tradition have been recklessly omitted from NPP's official documentation, visual commemorations, and institutional memory.
This is not a matter of simple oversight, it is an act of historical vandalism and intellectual dishonesty that strikes at the very foundation of truth and justice in public memory," the family stated.
They noted that Victor Owusu's exclusion from the NPP's narrative was not only an affront to his personal legacy but also a betrayal of the very democratic ideals the party purports to uphold. "To exclude Victor Owusu, whose democratic leadership during the fragile post-Kotoka era held the flame of constitutionalism aloft, is to undermine the very legitimacy the current NPP leadership claims to uphold.
