Exclusive Report: Founder's Day Celebration Sparks Controversy in Ghana


The Founder's Day celebration in Ghana, originally scheduled for September 21, was cancelled and re-instituted for August 4, sparking controversy over the country's founding fathers.


The day honors the contributions of Ghana's founders, but a debate has emerged over whether Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the country's first president, was the sole founder.


Supporters of Nkrumah argue that he played a crucial role in Ghana's independence, while others claim that other key figures, such as J.B. Danquah and Obetsebi-Lamptey, also contributed significantly.


The controversy led to the cancellation of the original celebration date and its re-institution on August 4, which some see as an attempt to downplay Nkrumah's legacy.


Critics argue that the move undermines Nkrumah's importance in Ghana's history, while others see it as an effort to promote a more inclusive narrative of the country's founding.


The debate highlights the complex nature of Ghana's history and the ongoing efforts to define its national identity.
