The Speaker of Parliament, Mike Aaron Oquaye has said Kwame Nkrumah never founded Ghana as people believe.
According to him, Kwame Nkrumah can never be the founder of Ghana because the quest for Independence was an initiative of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC).

He argued that, Kwame Nkrumah was only an invitee who was brought to Ghana from America by the UGCC to help in the fight for Independence and therefore cannot be the Founder of Ghana.
“If anyone tells you they [UGCC] did not win independence, and that it was after a certain arrival [Dr. Nkrumah] that independence fell on the agenda, it was a palpable false…”, he said when speaking on the occasion of the Founders’ Day Celebration held on Tuesday, August 4, 2020.

He explained that, “Because from the constitution and from the day on 4th August 1947, it shows clearly that there were men of God who were poised to lead this country and for that matter ready to govern we Africans without Nkrumah and later with Nkrumah as a leading player of the UGCC, collectively worked for the good of this country.
“That day the UGCC was inaugurated, incidentally Nkrumah was not in Ghana. When he came, he became a prominent part of it…With all due respect the invitee cannot become the founder”, he added.
