Great move; long live the legacies of Nkrumah, Sankara and Rawlings. One love.

Nkrumah and Sankara have nothing in common with the bloody, fascist, corrupt, neo-colonial minded Rawlings!

What legacy for Rawlings and nobody should compare Rawlings to Nkrumah.The two have nothing in common.Rawlings was never an Nkrumaist and was an ardent admirer and supporter of Kotoka who took bribe from the CIA to overthrow Nkrumah. The NDC he is purported to have founded doesn't belong to the Nkrumaist camp..The NDC informed the whole world that it doesn't belong to either the Busia or Nkrumaist camp. Those who call themselves as Nkrumaists in the NDC must bow their heads down in shame. They are traitors!!!. Nkrumah never used a coup to come to power like Rawlings who did so on two occassions.

Yes, Rawlings deserved to be recognized. He is an exceptional leader. Democracy that Ghan is enjoying is as result of Rawlings honesty, hard working, integrity and vision.

Rawlings brought democracy to Ghana? Is he not the one who used the gun to remove the democratically elected President Hilla Limann from power?. Rawlings used his big mouth to preach accountability but sold state assets to his wife. Unlike Nkrumah he ended up as a very rich person with properties into the bargain. His rule saw Ghanaians treated as animals- some even abducted and killed never to be seen again.His intention was to rule Ghana for years and years like Yoweri Museveni is doing in Uganda.

Traore shouldn't meddle in the internal affairs of Ghana by honouring Rawlings who should have been arrested and jailed for treason when he used a coup to remove the late president Hilla Limann from power. Rawlings was a mister no-man for Ghana.Like Sankara and Rawlings Traore is in power because of the power of the gun. They are birds of the same feathers. They are destroyers of democracy.

If the new government is for the ordinary folks of the country, honoring Rawlings with a street name is not the right thing to do. Rawlings came to power with good intention for the ordinary folk. He killed people and whipped women in their vagina to prove his mission, their crime being rich. However, after tasting power and riches, he joined the bandwagon and now his family is wallowing in riches. He does not deserve this honor bearing in mind the goals and aspirations of the Burkina government to bring about fairness and justice in the Burkina society. Rawlings came to power for himself and people should stop singing halleluja in his name.

RAWLINGS' LEGACY IS MURDERING HIGH COURT JUDGES, FORMER HEADS OF STATE, AND THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT GHANAIANS. ONLY FOOLS WILL RECOGNIZE SUCH A WICKED AND EVIL PERSON.

WHY RETAIN THE NAME KOTOKA?
Erase Kotoka and replace it with ACCRA. Ghana has Accra International Airport. No need to glorify that maker of a coup d'etat.
