Loyce Serwaa Limann, the daughter of former President Hilla Limann, has expressed her lack of surprise that her father is not recognized, as the records of his time in office were burnt by the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) government.
In a recent interview, Loyce Serwaa Limann revealed that she is not surprised by the lack of recognition for her father’s contributions to Ghana, as the records of his presidency were intentionally destroyed by the PNDC government. She stated that this deliberate act has contributed to the erasure of her father’s legacy and the impact of his presidency on the country.
Hilla Limann served as the President of Ghana from 1979 to 1981. His tenure was marked by political instability and economic challenges, but he is also remembered for his efforts to restore democracy in Ghana after the overthrow of the regime of General Ignatius Acheampong.
Despite his efforts, Hilla Limann’s presidency has been largely overshadowed by the subsequent regimes and the actions of the PNDC government. Loyce Serwaa Limann’s comments shed light on the deliberate attempts to erase her father’s legacy, and the impact of this on her family.
The burning of Hilla Limann’s records is a stark reminder of the fragile nature of historical records and the impact of political decisions on the preservation of a country’s history. It serves as a call to action for the preservation and protection of historical documents and records, to ensure that the legacy of leaders like Hilla Limann is not lost to future generations.
Loyce Serwaa Limann’s words are a powerful reminder of the importance of acknowledging and preserving the contributions of past leaders, and the impact of political decisions on the historical narrative of a nation.
