Former President John Dramani Mahama has asked African leaders to reflect on the legacies of the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah as we mark AU day today, May 25, 2021.
Mr. Mahama, in a message, stated that the AU day should remind Africans of the need to work harder as a people and governments to improve on the legacy bestowed on us.
”As the world’s youngest continent, Africa must ensure that our young people have greater access to resources, have a stronger voice in decision making, and are not discriminated against.”
Africa Day (formerly African Freedom Day and African Liberation Day) is the annual commemoration of the foundation of the Organisation of African Unity on 25 May 1963. It is celebrated in various countries on the African continent, as well as around the world.

Today is May 25, Africa Day. It is yet another opportunity for us to reflect on the vision and sacrifices of the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and his peers.
Today also reminds us of the need to work harder as a people and governments to improve on the legacy bestowed on us.
As the world’s youngest continent, Africa must ensure that our young people have greater access to resources, have a stronger voice in decision making, and are not discriminated against.
In a time when the global pandemic, COVID-19, has taught us many lessons, we have to let Africa lead the way through our youth.
The time to act is now.
Happy #AfricaDay!
