Professor P.L.O. Lumumba has urged Africans to move beyond slogans and monuments and give Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah's ideas practical meaning, using the 117th anniversary of his birth to examine whether Africa is making progress towards the ideals he championed.
Professor P.L.O. Lumumba has called for renewed integrity and selfless leadership in Africa, warning against the use of public office for personal wealth accumulation. He said political leaders should remember that leadership is about service and holding power in trust for the people, not what he termed "primitive accumulation" or theft of public resources.
Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, a renowned Pan-Africanist and anti-corruption crusader, has described Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah as a selfless leader whose vision for African unity and dignity remains relevant. After visiting Nkrumah's birthplace at Nkroful, Lumumba said he gained deeper appreciation for the former Ghanaian leader's recognition of the need for Africans to unite and improve their collective conditions.
Professor P.L.O. Lumumba says Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah possessed foresight in the 1960s that a fragmented Africa would struggle to protect its interests and would be vulnerable to domination by external forces. Lumumba argues that Africa's current conflicts and crises could have been avoided had the continent heeded Nkrumah's call for meaningful unity.
