Marking Nkrumah’s Departure: CPP Commemorates His Death in Unity
Nana Akosua Frimpomaa, chairperson and leader of the Convention People's Party (CPP) led comrades including Senior Comrade Ziga, Comrade Yirimambo (National Organizer), Comrade Osei Kofi (National Youth Organizer), Executives of Greater Accra and Odododiodio Constituency to commemorate the death of the Africa of the Millennium, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah on Thursday, April 27.
The CPP laid a Wreath at the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum to invoke the positive spirit of our founding father.
Earlier in the day, the party paid courtesy call on the Paramount Chief and people of Odododiodio at the Otublohum Palace.
In 1951, Kwame Nkrumah's Convention People's Party won 34 of the 38 elected seats in the assembly, claiming all five seats and nearly 95% of the vote in urban areas. Nkrumah himself winning the Accra Central seat (Odododiodio) with 22,780 of the 23,122 votes cast. In rural areas the CPP won 29 of the 33 seats, taking around 72% of the vote.
Nana Akosua Frimpomaa thanked the people of Odododiodio for their unwavering support for Dr. Nkrumah who stood against the odds as a non-native of Accra, contested and won the seat and eventually entered Parliament: a launch-pad for Ghana's independence.
She admonished the chiefs and people of Odododiodio to recandle their spirit as Ghana fights for Economic Independence under the new CPP agenda.
