The National Democratic Congress (NDC) seems not to be enthused with comments made by daughter of Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Members of the NDC on Thursday took to the principal streets of Accra in a Unity Walk to commemorate the Founder’s Day celebration.
However, Samia Nkrumah took a jab at the NDC describing them as opportunistic. According to her, the NDC cannot be shouting and preaching Nkrumaist ideologies when they are in opposition only to implement brute capitalist policies when they are in power.
Murtala Mohammed who was not happy with Samia’s comment asked her to ‘shut up’ because even though she is the daughter of Ghana’s first President does not mean she is the sole owner of her father’s ideologies.
“Samia is just ignorant…” he fumed.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s "Alhaji and Alhaji" programme, the former Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry added: “Nkrumah’s family do not own his ideological heritage. They are not the right heads of Nkrumah’s ideological heritage. They own Nkrumah as a blood heritage but they don’t own his ideology and that anytime anybody is defending this legacy… anytime that ideology is under attack and people genuinely want to defend it you see her saying that opportunist. I think that she is just ignorant and I think that she needs to exercise restraint. Maybe or perhaps she needs to have a proper appreciation of what Nkrumah’s ideology is….Nkrumah’s ideology transcends blood line, family lines, ethnic divisive lines and that is what Nkrumah stood for and many people believed in it…I think she should just shut up…when you listen to her; I don’t need to be a CPP member before I can be an Nkrumaist…I just need to ascribe by the ideology that he stood for…”

NDC says they love Nkrumah, meanwhile they detest his children. Confused ppl.
murtala,you lost elections as a Minister & MP like the other NDC folks. please, find a nice way of winning back you seat & help your party to come to power again. your analysis are way below the the belt (baga baga). the Radio Gold is neither aiding you. im pleading with you, you are a young man
Samira is right. NDC has always and will forever be a party of of political opportunists. Having been starved of ant reason to hit the streets by a true government with bold and selfless plans NDC is looking for opportunity to hit the streets abd deed its gullible members something to chew on!!! We have not forgotten "comfortable lead" when it was a blatant lie. The Kwesi Botchey report has exposed this party's nakedness and it's lack of real leadership and unity. NOTHIBG BUT A OARTY IF OPPORTUNUSM AND UNREPENTANT OPPORTUNUSTS!!! YOU SHOULD FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO AND STAY AWAY FROM REAL POLITICS!!!
Murtala should ***barred word***, Samia is right on point. The Ndc idealogies are in sharp contrast with those of Dr Nkrumah. They are just being opportunistic.
Why is the NDC so reactionary? Is it part of the lessons they learned from Russia? Can't they see it puts them in a bad light? I hope Dr. Botchwey's team observed that too.
the new CPP.................NDC
I WONDER WHY A PARTY DOES NOT HONOR ITS FOUNDER NOR THE IDEOLOGIES FOR WHICH THE PARTY WAS FOUNDED, ACCOUNTABILITY AND PROBITY BUT PREFER TO BE CPP. THE ANSWER IS SO SIMPLE, THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN ACCOUNTABILITY BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CORRUPT THAT WHEN YOU SEE A GOAT, JUST SAY IS A COW.
it is better to tell someone that he is ***barred word*** or iliterate or unknowledgerable than telling someone that 90%of his asset are all stolen moneys so if samia is ignoramus she is not a ***barred word*** or corrupt .this is the fact of the matter.
NKRUMAH WASN'T A ***barred word*** LIKE YOU GUYS. AREN'T YOU ASHAMED OF YOURSELF? ONE TERM MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
