The Central Regional Communications Director of the NDC, Bernard Allotey Jacobs has rubbished claims by Dr. Sekou Nkrumah that President Mills may have been a good person but he was not a great leader. According to Allotey Jacobs, Sekou�s comment is infantile and should not be taken serious by Ghanaians. He also has uncharitable words for Former President Rawlings, urging the former President to accept his wife�s loss at last year�s Sunyani congress and allow the party to grow in peace. The son of Ghana�s first President, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah over the weekend discounted claims that late President John Mills was a great leader. Dr. Sekou Nkrumah has rather described him as a good man but not as a good leader. Speaking on Joy FM last Saturday, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah reiterated that it would be hypocritical for him to call Professor Mills a great leader when he knows that is not the truth. However, Bernard Allotey Jacobs has described Sekou�s comment as irresponsible and without merit. He accused Sekou Nkrumah of pursuing the agenda of the opposition NPP, hence his stance on the matter. �As for Sekou, he has joined NPP Communications team, so it is no wonder he is speaking like this because that has been the kindergarten song of the NPP,� he declared. �People are deliberately closing their eyes to the unprecedented achievements of Prof Mills. But despite their actions and intentions, Professor Mills is the best democrat Ghana has ever produced.� Allotey Jacobs also lashed out at former President Rawlings for making a similar statement on BBC immediately after the death of president Mills, saying �as for Rawlings, when he says things we don�t take him serious.�
