A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere Darko, has expressed worry over lies being told about J.B. Danquah.
He says for the past 15 years, he has read books and researched thoroughly about claims that J.B. Danquah was a CIA agent.
However, regardless of books people have quoted from among others, nowhere was it stated that J.B. Danquah was a traitor to his own country.
To him, the source of the lies about J.B. Danqauah has to be ascertained.
“For the past 15yrs or so, I’ve combed through declassified CIA files & more, read books, including Meridith’s ‘State of Africa’ & Mahoney’s ‘JFK: Ordeal In Africa’ & NO WHERE is JB Danquah described as a spy. Who started this unpatriotic lie?”
His comments come on the back of the arguments by Murtala Mohammed on the floor of parliament to the effect that J.B. Danquah is not worth celebrating because scholars have labelled him as a traitor and a CIA agent planted in Ghana to sell the country’s secrets.
