Media personality and comedian, Kwaku Sintim-Misa, widely known as KSM, has urged former President John Mahama to rename Kotoka International Airport.
He has tagged the ariport’s current name a “disgrace” to Ghana’s history.
KSM argued that the airport should instead be named after Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, to honour his Pan-African legacy and contributions to the nation’s independence.
He criticized the decision to name the airport after Lieutenant General Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka, who led the 1966 coup that ousted Nkrumah.
According to KSM, Kotoka’s role in disrupting Nkrumah’s Pan-African vision and his alleged ties to foreign powers, make him unworthy for such a prominent national landmark.
