The family of the late Victor Owusu, a leading figure in the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition, has accused the current leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of deliberately distorting the party's historical facts to erase his legacy.
In protest, the family has purportedly issued a strongly worded statement, a copy of which has been posted on social media platform X, elaborating on the significant roles the late family member played as a stalwart of Ghana's political history and a key member of the UP tradition.
In the statement, the family alleged that the NPP has recklessly omitted Victor Owusu's name, image, and contributions from the party's official documentation, visual commemorations, and institutional memory.
The family explained that Victor Owusu was the flagbearer of the Popular Front Party (PFP) in the 1979 general elections a party that later metamorphosed into the NPP.
