Dr. Adolf Lutterodt, Greater Accra Chairman of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) has said that Ghana’s fruitless effort to resuscitate the economy was a pointer for her to return to the ideas and vision of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
He said the socialist’s ideas of the late first President of Ghana, had become more relevant today as they could contribute immensely in eradicating the evils of poverty, disease, hunger, ignorance and squalor.
Dr Lutterodt said this in a statement copied to the GNA on Sunday in commemoration of the 93rd birthday of Dr. Nkrumah. “The CPP knows that the ideas of Pan-African cooperation, unification and struggle against neo-colonialism are the key to economic emancipation,” he noted.
He said in the years of Dr Nkrumah under the CPP no other country made such giant strides in development in a short time like Ghana saying, “Ghana was a model aiming at a society in which the welfare of the people was paramount.”
Dr Lutterodt said whatever the future of Ghana held, the ideology of Dr Nkrumah, the illustrious son of Africa would be the determinant of the ultimate destiny of the country. He called on all Nkrumaists to use the occasion of the birthday of their Founding Father to unite.
