In addition, he declared “We must lead by example and start with our party and all Nkrumahists nationwide. On this 69th anniversary of the founding of the party that liberated our country from the shackles of colonial subjugation, I call on Nkrumahists to unite for a new challenge to liberate Ghana once again, this time not from foreign rule, but from the shackles of corruption and failed leadership.”
He charged party enthusiasts and Nkrumahist far and near to unite and come on board to rebuild the CPP in order to be able to able to take up roles and tasks to help liberate the Ghanaians.
“Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the founder of the nation once said, “if our revolution must succeed, then every man and woman of good intention must be given a role to play”. Thus, every member of the party has a duty to play in our efforts to rebuild our party and liberate our great nation.” He concluded.
Present at the event were members of the party’s Council of Elders, party enthusiasts.
Conspicuously absent were Samia Nkrumah and 2016 flagbearer Ivor Kwabena Greenstreet.
