Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Asiedu Nketiah
Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Asiedu Nketiah, shares the view that the Kotoka International Airport needs a name change.
He believes that Major General Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka does not deserve to be named after the country’s Airport when he played no role in its building.
Asiedu Nketiah believes that the name has been left unchanged over the years because no government has found the balls to change it.
But left with him, the Kotoka needs to be changed as soon as possible.
He is of the view that Kwame Nkrumah, who did the hard work, needs to be appreciated and not a coup plotter who did nothing to get the airport for the country.
“Kotoka did a coup and changed Kwame Nkrumah and named the airport after himself. That is not right. Kwame Nkrumah did all the work and Kotoka came to take the glory after the coup. I am of the view that we need to change that name.
Several governments have come and gone but they have not had the balls to change it that is why the airport is still called Kotoka. Left with me, there should be a name change,” he told Radio Gold in an interview.
