"Physical resemblance between two persons has nothing to do with their depth of reasoning," observes Central Regional Director of Communications for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Allotey Jacobs. He maintains that verity separates Ghana's first president, Osagyefuo Dr Kwame Nkrumah from his son, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah. Without any medical proof to substantiate his claim, Allotey Jacobs strongly asserts that the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of Sekou Nkrumah doesn�t match that of his late father. He further posits that Sekou�s DNA had developed defects thus making it easier for him to unwarrantably attack President John Dramani Mahama. Sekou Nkrumah drew first blood when he stated that as far as he is concerned, President Mahama isn�t fit to be president of Ghana. He proposed that it would be befitting if Ghana�s current president had traits similar to that of his late father, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah or former President Rawlings. Such personalities, according to him, had what it takes to drive the nation forward. That statement clearly did not sit well with Allotey Jacobs, who in a rather sharp riposte, averred that Dr. Sekou Nkrumah is a confused individual running riot on the airwaves with his senseless English. Speaking in an interview with Peacefm�s Nana Yaw Kese during the station's News@6pm Bulletin, the Central Regional Communications Director for the NDC stated that he believes Dr. Sekuo Nkrumah is preparing the grounds for fruitless debates because he has been denied personal favours by the president. �When you listen to him talking, you can clearly tell that he is a confused person. What does he want? If he wants to wine and dine with the president and be his aide, he should tell some of us so we can facilitate that for him�I knew what he wanted when he started following President Mills (former late president) in his campaign�, Allotey Jacobs alleged.
