Dr. Sekou Nkrumah the son of Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, has accused his sister, Samia Yaba Christina Nkrumah, of being manipulated by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during her time as Chairperson of the Convention People’s Party (CPP).

In a recent interview on JoyNews’s PM Express, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah criticized Samia’s leadership, asserting that her lack of knowledge about the CPP's history led to her ineffective tenure. He claimed that she was misled into taking on the role without a proper understanding of the party.

“That’s the problem I had with my sister when she came back to Ghana because I realised that she didn’t know much. She was being manipulated by people to come into the country when she had no idea about her leadership of the CPP and so on.

“That’s a fact. I speak my mind and I want to believe that I speak the truth. The fact of the matter is that was what happened and she made a decision on leaving the CPP when the CPP did not change. It was the same because she didn’t have an understanding of our political history,” he told JoyNews’ George Wiafe.

“You remember I asked you the question, who was in power when she was brought to Ghana? Who was leading the CPP when she was brought to Ghana? Those should answer your questions.”

Additionally, Dr. Nkrumah expressed frustration with the political environment, arguing that smaller parties like the CPP are often overshadowed and controlled by the major parties, the NPP and NDC.

“Are you not aware that all these smaller parties are manipulated by either NDC or NPP? That has been the issue since the 1992 Election?” he quizzed.
