The past president made these assertions while speaking with the leaders of the International Democratic Union (IDU) when they visited him in his office.

The president pointed out in his statement that President Nkrumah established a system unitary state that did not tolerate varying ideologies.

According to Kufuor, “Kwame Nkrumah built a whole prison just 22 miles of Accra for detention of political opponents” he said. He observed: “Democracy as we are espousing was virtually killed,” and was quick to add that

“By 1966 the country had had too much and it was laboring under poverty it had never known before” he said.

Mr. Kufuor, who served as president between 2001 and 2009, said the country was “labouring under intolerance and people were not allowed to express themselves [under President Nkrumah] …”The Ex-President remarked that the country tasted true democracy only after 1992 when we were ushered into the 4th republic and hoped that we have had a gradual improvement.

However, the former youth organizer of the CPP took to his facebook account and said the good works of Nkrumah had been penned down in books which all citizens can read in order to appreciate the efforts of Ghana’s foremost figure in the struggle for independence.

“Only two weeks ago Rawlings launched a scathing attack on Kwame Nkrumah, he even justified the illegal overthrow. The media (agenda setters) was silent on it. Kufuor has done same, and it's everywhere now. For two former presidents of the NDC and NPP to be united in attacking Kwame Nkrumah is indicative of the neo-colonial country that Ghana is."“What is interesting, however, is that nobody speaks for Kwame Nkrumah, even in death, he speaks for himself. Contact … his book, Dark Days in Ghana.” He commented.
