Former Deputy General Secretary of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho has described as 'unacceptable' how the attention of Ghanaians have been shifted from 'hardcore issues' like President Akufo-Addo's State of the Nation Address, (SONA) and the 2021 budget to the offensive 'juju-loving' history textbook.
"How can we be debating the budget and the State of the Nation Address; those are the hardcore issues; who allowed this textbook issue to enter the debate? To the extent that that is what is topical now. It is extremely unacceptable for those behind this because now you have taken the debate away," he said in an interview on Kumasi-based Hello FM.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Atta Mills institute however "congratulated all those condemning this textbook".

Ghanaians have been criticizing the Publishers of the "Golden English" textbook, which disparages Ewes and Ghana's first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum says his Ministry has not approved the textbook for use even though it was on the market before its offensive nature was disclosed.
