DR SEKOU NKRUMAH DENIES REJOINING THE CPP
The last son of Ghana’s First President, Kwame Nkrumah has denied speculations that he has rejoined the CPP after earlier reports that he has resigned from the NDC.
The former coordinator of the Ghana Youth Council stress that he only resigns from the NDC because of differences in ideologies.
Dr. Sekou Nkrumah says the current leadership of the NDC has failed to change the lives of Ghanaians better than they came to inherit hence the decision to rejoin the CPP
According to Dr. Sekou Nkrumah the Atta Mills administration is not making dynamic enough moves to change the lives of Ghanaians and is therefore losing to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He made these statements when speaking on Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Dwaso Nsem Tuesday.
Dr. Sekou Nkrumah said his main objective to join the NDC was to help change the fortunes of Ghanaians, but this dream seems to be far achieved with the current leadership of the party.
Meanwhile, the National Propaganda Secretary for the National Democratic Congress, Richard Quashigah says the NDC wishes Dr. Sekou Nkrumah well in his endeavour.
He said every individual has the right to take his decision, adding Dr. Nkrumah’s line of thinking may be different from what the NDC holds.
On the issue of the current government fumbling with governance, Richard Quashigah said it is unfortunate to make a statement.
He argued that the NDC government is doing well in governance.
He added though things have not been smooth, but the government is on course.

GOVERNMENT MUST ENFORCE LAW ON EARLY MARRIAGES
Child Rights Activist, Bright Appiah has called on the government to immediately enforce the law which prohibits force and early marriages in the country.

Bright Appiah was commenting on the unfortunate incident in Bawku where a 15 year old girl was forced into marriage.
He urged Parents and guardians to recognize the decision of the child before agreement is made on the marriage.
