The Member of Parliament for Ajomoro Gwira, Mr. Kofi Arko Nokoe, paid glowing tribute to Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, during a phone interview this morning on Pink FM’s morning show Omabapa Kasa hosted by Kay Dee. In his remarks, the MP described Nkrumah as a towering figure whose legacy remains unmatched by any president in Ghana’s history.
Speaking with admiration, Mr. Nokoe emphasized the profound impact Nkrumah had on Ghana and Africa as a whole, noting that his vision and contributions to the nation’s development continue to stand the test of time. “Kwame Nkrumah’s legacy stands tall among all the presidents Ghana has ever had. His achievements in infrastructure, education, and industrialization laid the foundation for modern Ghana,” he stated during the interview.
The MP further highlighted Nkrumah’s deep connection to the Nzema community, where he hailed from, and called on the people of Nzema to be proud of their heritage. “As a very proud son of the Nzema land, Nkrumah made us proud. His name resonates across Africa, and we, the people of Nzema, must walk with our chests up. He showed the world that greatness can come from anywhere, and we should embrace his legacy with pride,” Mr. Nokoe added.
Kwame Nkrumah, born in Nkroful in the Western Region, remains a revered figure in Nzema and across Ghana for his visionary leadership and role in the country’s independence movement. His policies and initiatives, including the establishment of industries and educational institutions, continue to influence Ghana’s development decades after his passing.
Kofi Arko Nokoe’s tribute to Nkrumah on Omabapa Kasa reflects the enduring respect that many Ghanaians, particularly those from Nzema, have for the country’s first president. As a native of the same region, Mr. Nokoe expressed pride in Nkrumah’s accomplishments, urging the younger generation to uphold the values and legacy of the late leader.
The MP’s statements also serve as a reminder of Nkrumah’s influence, not just on the political landscape, but on the identity and pride of the Nzema people. His call for the Nzema community to continue holding their heads high was met with agreement by listeners, many of whom recognize Nkrumah’s indelible mark on the nation’s history.
The conversation on Pink FM comes at a time when Ghanaians are reflecting on the country’s journey since independence, with Kwame Nkrumah’s contributions often taking centre stage in discussions of national development and pan-Africanism
