A member of the Communications Team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye has described as blasphemous claims by National Democratic Congress (NDC) communicators that President John Mahama is the ‘Kwame Nkrumah of our time’.

NDC Communicators have on different platforms compared the sitting President to the first President of independent Ghana, arguing that President John Mahama’s achievements is akin to the late leader.

They claim that the infrastructure development embarked upon by his administration is similar to that of Kwame Nkrumah. The communicators add that President Mahama is facing same opposition and criticisms from the opposition like Nkrumah.

But Nana Boakye speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo said he does not see the link between President Mahama and Kwame Nkrumah as according to him, the former’s governance style is very inferior to that of the latter.

Nana B as he is called argued that he has failed to comprehend why known CPP members in the country sit unconcerned as the NDC tries to belittle the achievements of their celebrated leader.

“So I ask myself if there are CPP party members still in Ghana and why they have failed to defend Nkrumah’s legacy…they are allowing the NDC to claim that Mahama managed the country like Nkrumah did but I ask myself if Nkrumah mismanaged the country like the way the NDC is doing…,” he argued.

To him, unlike Kwame Nkrumah, President Mahama is heading an administration which has specialized in ‘stealing funds and are mismanaging the country’.

Nkrumah, he added did not also borrow 248million Ghana cedis in eight years.

“Nkrumah never had oil money, he didn’t take too much tax like the NDC and yet delivered…so would Nkrumah have allowed the bus branding deal…?,” he queried.

According to Nana B, the NDC and John Mahama cannot be compared to the African of the century in any way as the ‘PNDC/NDC championed the collapse of about 300 factories created by Nkrumah.’

He further called on the CPP and its flagbearer to rise up and defend the legacy of Nkrumah as the NDC is seeking to paint the first President black with the comparison.

But his comments did not go down well with the Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr who was on the show.

According to the veteran journalist, it was wrong to claim that members of the CPP have sat aloof as the legacy of Nkrumah is being destroyed by the NDC.

“Don’t create the impression that the CPP cannot defend itself. We have shown that there is a clear cut difference between the CPP and NPP and NDC but I would have been very happy if Nkrumah was still alive…,” he said.

To him, he was more than happy that persons who once opposed Nkrumah and his legacies like the NPP are now praising the first President.
