Convention People's Party, United Kingdom and Ireland

We Believe...

Go to the people, Live among them, Learn from them, Love them, Serve them, Plan with them, Start with what they know, Build on what they have.

We have the right to live as men

We prefer self-government with danger to servitude in tranquillity

We have the right to govern ourselves

Do I want Independence in my life-time? Or do I want to revert to feudalism and imperialism?

At long last the battle has ended. And thus Ghana, your beloved country is free forever.

The Independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is linked up with the total liberation of the African Continent.

We are now working for Ghana regardless of party affiliations. The government will see to it that any sacrifices which the workers, whether by hand or brain, and the farmers may make, will not rob them of the fruits of their labour. The government will ensure that these sacrifices will be made for the benefit of all the people.

The independence of Ghana should not be surrendered or diminished on any grounds other than the furtherance of Africa unity, that no person would suffer discrimination on grounds of sex, race, tribe, religion or political belief, and that chieftaincy in Ghana would be guaranteed and preserved. Freedom and justice would be honoured and maintain.

Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.

It is far easier for the proverbial camel to pass through the needle's eye, hump and all, than for an erstwhile colonial administration to give sound and honest counsel of a political nature to its liberated territory.

The best way of learning to be an independent sovereign state is to be an independent sovereign state.

We prefer self-government with danger to servitude in tranquility.
