<\/p>\nSon of Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Nkrumah, has lashed out at Joshua Attoh Quarshie for denting the image of his father following allegations he made during an interview on Citi TV.<\/p>\n
Sekou Nkrumah, on social media, said he won\u2019t take it lightly with anyone who wants to damage the legacy of his father.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have my reservations with some aspects of Nkrumah\u2019s political legacy, but I will not sit down for an old Ga fool to put him down!\u201d he posted on Facebook.<\/p>\n
Joshua Attoh Quarshie made some assertions that Kwame Nkrumah never acquired a Ph.D. as Ghanaians were made to believe.<\/p>\n
According to the former Gold Coast Politician, Ghana\u2019s first president was rather a janitor, who cleaned toilets for a living.<\/p>\n
\u201cNkrumah used to pump the toilet before he can get his daily bread\u2026he never studied anything\u2026socialists put all these on Nkrumah\u2026what did he study?\u201d he quizzed.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo how can that stupid UP man explain that with no university degree Nkrumah could write 15 solid political books? I mean how? How many books did their doctors and professors combined write?\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026Nkrumah was top of his class, an excellent academic with several university degrees! An exceptional political organizer and orator! A political theorist who shaped the African decolonization process! A legend who put Ghana on the world political map. A hero who made Africa great again!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Attoh Quarshie, in the interview, said Nkrumah \u201cnever studied anything\u2026socialists put all these on Nkrumah\u2026what did he study?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Attoh Quarshie said that when the Osagyefo appeared before the Watson Commission, he was asked whether he was a PhD holder to earn the title \u201cDr\u201d; he (Nkrumah) answered no.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they called him \u2018Dr Nkrumah\u2019, he appeared before Watson Commission and he was asked \u2018Are you a doctor\u2026?\u2019 and he said no. He [was] trying to write his thesis for Theology,\u201d he said on Citi TV.<\/p>\n
He reiterated that there are crooks who buy some of these degrees from the universities. He added that Kwame Nkrumah\u2019s master was Ako Adjei so it was he (Ako Adjei) who recommended Nkrumah to Dr. JB Danquah and other members of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) to be their General Secretary.<\/p>\n
