Trending GH: Who is the founder of Ghana?

In recent reports, the Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, stated that it was false claims for people to say Dr. Kwame Nkrumah founded independent Ghana.

His comment revives the long-standing debate about the actual founder of Ghana especially after the president, Nana Akufo-Addo subtly also suggested so in the address he delivered at Ghana@60 independence anniversary parade.

Prof Mike Oquaye speaking at the Institute of Economic Affairs’ (IEA) showing of a documentary of the political history of Ghana between 1844 and the Fourth Republican Constitution, condemned the current history curriculum which credited Dr. Kwame Nkrumah as a founder of independent Ghana and said it was misleading.
