    Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called for an end to persistent attempts to undermine the legacy of Dr. J.B. Danquah, describing such efforts as unnecessary and unjust.

    Speaking at the Ebenezer Presbyterian Congregation in Kyebi, Eastern Region, during the 60th anniversary of Danquah’s passing, Akufo-Addo passionately defended the historical significance of the late statesman.

    “Yet, despite Dr. Danquah’s contribution to the development of Ghana, his name continues to elicit needless controversy in death as it did in life,” he said.

    “We recall vividly the inhumane conditions imposed by Kwame Nkrumah’s CPP government regarding the conduct of his burial in 1965, after his cruel death in solitary confinement in the dungeons of Nsawam Prison.”

    Reflecting on how Danquah’s name continues to spark controversy decades after his passing, Akufo-Addo noted that the late politician’s impact on Ghana’s democratic journey remains undeniable.

    “We are witnesses, 60 years after his death, to the vicious name-calling that accompanies his mention by individuals who should otherwise be responsible members of society,” he observed.

    “Those of us who cherish the work of this great champion of Ghanaian freedom and progress must take solace not just from the benevolence of our God in heaven but also from the philosophical calm that Dr. Danquah embraced while in the cells of Sekondi Prison.”

    Akufo-Addo emphasized that Danquah’s legacy should serve as a guiding force for the country’s democracy.

    “The memory of Danquah demands that we remain vigilant, ensuring that democracy in Ghana is not just a rhetorical ideal but a lived reality,” he stated.

    Highlighting the personal significance of Danquah’s influence on his leadership, he said, “As I stand before you today, I cannot help but reflect on the weight of Dr. Danquah’s legacy. His portrait in my office is more than a symbol; it is a daily reminder of the duty we bear as public servants, as citizens, and as inheritors of democracy.”
