Ghana’s first president - Dr Kwame Nkrumah is said to be the greatest politician to have walked the soil of Ghana. His achievements include leading Ghana to Independence and steering the early wheel of a tremendous nationwide development.
Despite Nkrumah’s unique position on the Ghanaian political landscape as a hero, Jamestown Mantse, Obrempong Nii Kojo Ababio has said President John Dramani Mahama is a greater than him.
The 92-year-old chief is reported as having said: “Dr Kwame Nkrumah was my contemporary. I saw what he did for Ghana. I am tempted to say you have surpassed Nkrumah.” “My son, I admire greatly what you are doing in infrastructure. As you can see I am flipping through the pages of the green book. Don’t worry, it is well with you,” he added.
Obrempong Nii Kojo Ababio made the above comment when President Mahama visited him as part of his Greater Accra Region tour.

Old man got it wrong. How could he compare Ferrari to Fiat cinque cento?
who cares what a 92 years old man says?
It is always not polite to attempt to denigrate an old man of 92 years in particular a GA Chief who for years have sat down in Accra eaten kenkey and fish all his life and allowed the city to sink to such smelly capital with gutters full of waste with no proper toilets and with heaps of massive defecated waste in black bags ; go to central Accra ;-Swalaba ; Bukom and other places and see how GA people live pigs ;their Chiefs have sold all their lands and their children sleep outside and do not go to school with very high unemployment amongst the youth especially the men but their women so hard working and today this GA ediot fullish Chief praises Jon Mahama and compares him to Kwame Nkrumah; how can you make such comparison; to me this GA Chief should have just kept quiet about making comments regarding any political development initiative by Kwame Nkrumah to Jon Mahama ;I am sure the man was ill advised by Oko Vaderpuje because the circumstances and periods are are different ; today this GA Chief is not aware of the high price Ghana has paid for this so called Jon Mahama development projects by besides at his age this GA Chief should know that Kwame Nkrumah apart from building infracsture systems that we al enjoy today created what we call the Builders Brigade which offered avenue for employment for people to earn money to look after their children and pay their Schools; has Jon Mahama created any job opportunity for Ga people in Accra-No ;but even with all that Kwame Nkrumah sent Ghana into bankruptcy before he was overthrown ; all what these Ga Chiefs understand is the allocation of drinks including schnapps and coca-cola for the Homowo festivals by various Presidents each year but forget or insist on the real development for the Accra region ; there are bitter rivalry amongst Ga Chiefs which gives opportunity for these Presidents to full these GA Chiefs all the time ; is this Ga Chief not aware !!!!!!!; JJ Rawlings came and pretended to like Gas but in actual fact came to depend on Gas to help him rule and live in Accra ; WHAT DID JJ Rawlings do for Gas -NOTHING; today the same man using Gas to impose his daughter on Osu People in Accra; what did Kuffour do for Gas ; at least we all know Kuffour is a tribalist and do not like Ga people and so did NOTHING ; then came Atta Mills ; what did he do for Ga people although was married to a Ga lady - Nothing but rather condoned with this ayigbe/man Woyome to still from Ghanaians ; now it is Jon Mahama who privately HATES GA PEOPLE AND EWE PEOPLE and have planted OKO Vanderpuje to stir the pot to keep GA people as slaves in their land -GA PEOPLE THINK because these politicians will never help you .!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are insulting an elderly person because of politics like seriously, God have mercy. This is the reason many young ones are dying. They don't respect anybody all because they want someone's father to come and rule this country. Gosh
OOOO CHIEF LIVE LONG. YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL. BUT I DONT AGREE WITH YOU ENTIRELY. I THINK NKRUMAH IS THE GREATEST BECAUSE HE FOUGHT THE BATTLE IN TWO FRONTS. THE COLONIALIST AND THE VICIOUS OPPOSITION. THEN CAME THE NEO=COLONIALISTS AFTER INDEPENDENCE. A BRAINWASHED BREED OF COLONIAL PUPPETS, DOING THE BIDDING OF THEIR COLONIAL LARKEYS FOR A MERE STIPEND. THEY ARE THE UGCC. THEN METAMORPHOSED INTO U.P. THE N.L.M, THE P.F.P AND NOW THE NPP. THEIR FORE RUNNERS SUCCEEDED IN BREAKING THE FRONTS OF THE COMRADES, AND OUST NKRUMAH. THEN PUSHED US 50 YEARS BACKWARD. BUT NOW IT IS NO LONGER THE COMRADES. THEY HAVE REJUVINATED INTO CADRES, LED BY JJ. AND NOW MAHAMA, FACING THE ENEMY FRONTALLY. A GOOD REASON WHY TODAY THE NPP IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN OUR BODY POLITICS.
The joke of the century.This is actually the sickest joke I've heard in years. The best president of our time Kwame Nkrumah being compared to the worst is so nauseating.Gas please let people respect you. You are a noble group of Ghanaians .Don't allow the evil party of our times to trash you.
92 yrs chief flipping through a book n claiming mahama is better than nkrumah. Ah ah. Papa nii pls step out ur palace n see d way ur subjects are suffering. Jux on ur compound see how the youth v not hope n playing soccer 24/7.
Nkrumah had PDA to control his opponent but Mahama is not challenging all those insulting and lambasting him. That is Credit to the fourth republic and President Mahama is now in the driving seat.
That this man talk from his head? am abit worried Ghana be this? Oh our elders why why WHY?
Please bring some respect to us the Ga youth. I am disappointed
