The one reason why Ghana struggled to create national unity despite becoming independent in 1957 was tensions between people of different tribes and regions.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Shortly, after Ghana won independence in the 1957, Kwame Nkrumah was appointed as the Ghana Prime Minister. He was inspired by Indian struggle for independence which motivated him to mobilize the masses the fight for independence, after which he decided to work on unifying the neighbouring countries and come up with United States of Africa, only to invite a lot of opposition from different tribes and regions. Ghana struggled to maintain unity, especially after Nkrumah was overthrown by a military coup and military dictatorship was established in Ghana.
