A senior citizen who worked closely with Baffour Osei Akoto during the birth of the National Liberation Movement (NLM), has praised Dr. Afriyie Akoto, for having traits similar to his late father.
Mr. Amankwa Manu, stated that just like Baffour Osei Akoto used his knowledge and wisdom to weave together a strong team of highly educated personalities from notable professions such as the law, academia and engineering into a formidable political force to influence the direction of our politics in the 1950s, Dr. Afriyie Akoto is taking Ghana to another level, with his genius Planting For Food and Jobs initiative.
According to Mr. Amankwa Manu, having worked with the Baffour Osei Akoto, he can confidently state that his son (Dr. Afriyie Akoto), is doing much better in government.
The late Baffour Osei Akoto was a distinguished Senior Linguist of the Asante State in the 20th century.
He played an instrumental role in the formation of the NLM together with the Northern People’s Party that formed the foundation of the United Party (UP) from which the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is rooted.
