Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as ‘A Plus‘, ardently believes that Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was the most influential leader in Ghana’s history.
This belief arose in response to comments from members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), particularly vice-presidential candidate Mathew Opoku Prempeh.
Prempeh, also known as NAPO, suggested that Nkrumah’s achievements were insignificant compared to those of the current Akufo-Addo administration.
On July 8, 2024, in Kumasi, NAPO argued that Nkrumah’s presidency was unremarkable and claimed that since Ghana’s independence in 1957, no leader has contributed more to the nation’s progress and security than Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
His remarks drew strong criticism and backlash against the NPP’s vice-presidential candidate for his controversial comments about Ghana’s founding father, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Many individuals, including celebrities, joined in the criticism, highlighting Nkrumah’s significant accomplishments.
Among them was Kennedy Agyapong, a prominent NPP member, who expressed his admiration for Nkrumah’s government and its unparalleled achievements. In a video, Agyapong stated, “I believe in Kwame Nkrumah although I am a U.P member.
“They did a lot of propaganda, and looking at how Ghanaians are behaving today, we needed Nkrumah at that time. Everything that Kwame Nkrumah did for this country, he was over 200 years ahead of his peers and time.”
A Plus, in agreement with Agyapong, shared the video on his Facebook page, captioning it, “Kwame Nkrumah never dies!”
He also criticized the aggressive tactics of the current government in their ‘Break the 8’ campaign.
