“YOU CANNOT NAME AN AIRPORT BUILT BY KWAME NKRUMAH AFTER SOMEONE WHO OVERTHREW HIM — Gomoa Central MP, Kwame A Plus
Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Hon. Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly called APlus, has thrown his weight behing government’s resolve to rename Kotoka International Airport.
Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga announced that the government plans to rename Kotoka International Airport to Accra International Airport.
Mr Ayariga made this known while addressing journalists ahead of the first sitting of the Second Session of the 9th Parliament.
Speaking to the media, A Plus pointed to the fact that Ghana’s airport bears the name of the person who overthrew Kwame Nkrumah, and that is a disrespect to his legacy, considering the fact that the airport was built by Kwame Nkrumah.
He expressed excitement that President Mahama has decided to change the name to Accra International Airport, describing it as the best thing to do.
He also urged Ghanaians to treat Kotoka as an enemy of the state.
“Kotoka must be prosecuted even in his death. Kotoka is the main reason why we are here today.
He has to be treated as an enemy of the state. Anyone who overthrew Kwame Nkrumah destroyed the destiny of a whole country and changed everything that we had planned as a country.
Everybody who is suffering today is because of what Kotoka did,” he exclaimed.
