    I saw the polls, Nkrumah was first and Akufo-Addo second. People remember the person in office well, but after a few years they forget about him.

  • The Mask 2 years ago

    According to Houphouet Boigny former president of La Cote D'Ivoire, Nkrumah brought Science and Technology to West Africa. Nkrumah never dies just like Dr. J. B. Danquah.

  • P Djamgbe 2 years ago

    It is a poll, isn't it? Why attack Ghanaweb? Ideally incompetent, corrupt and useless Nana Akuffo Addo should be last. He has set Ghana back 100 years.

    Nkrumah is obviously the best. It should have followed by Kufuor and Mahama. Akufo should be no where to be found in the polls. He is a devil and a destroyer! He is a national enemy.
