Kotoka does not deserve to be honored
This is a rejoinder to the article by Mr. Michael Whyte of Canada on the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah. I am calling for a name change to the airport in Accra. The name, Kotoka International Airport, should be be changed to the ACCRA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT or Nkrumah International Airport. After all, it was Kwame Nkrumah who built the Accra airport from a small dingy air strip into a modern facility to accomodate large aircrafts and the large number of passengers who arrived and departed from the country.
Here it is!! I challenge all the hypocrites within our mist who argued with me over the years on Okyeame and beyond that I had no proof that the American CIA and British intelligence orchestrated and paid for the overthrow of Nkrumah on February 24,1966.
Shame on you all. The truth is out. I am again calling on the government and people of Ghana to change the name, Kotoka International Airport to ACCRA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT or Kwame Nkrumah Airport. Kotoka does not need any sympathy. To me, he was a TRAITOR, a paid insurgent, and does not need to be honored. Kotoka was not a patriot and nothing should be named after him in Ghana. Tribal sentiments should not become part of this critical national debate. He and Afrifa were paid by the American CIA and British Intelligence to overthrow Kwame Nkrumah. If the two men were alive today, they and their compatriots in the National Liberation Council(NLC) should be cashiered and tried in a military tribunal for TREASON. They were all traitors! The irony is this: Ghana has not made any meaningful progress in social and economic development since the overthrow of the "messiah", the true nationalist, who advocated and preached African unity and freedom for all oppressed Black people around the world.
Please read the article below. The details are stunning. It is straight from the recently declassified CIA documents. The article was published on the Ghanaweb.com today.
