John Wallace Tsiboe, also sometimes referred to as John S. Tsiboe (1904–1963) was a Ghanaian merchant and newspaper proprietor, the founder editor and owner of the independent Ashanti Pioneer.
The couple established a press known as the Abura Printing Works, and started publishing a newspaper, the Ashanti Pioneer.
[2] An early member of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC), Tsiboe and his wife were for a while both close to Kwame Nkrumah.
[3] Tsiboe also briefly joined the Convention People's Party in 1949, but soon became an opponent of Nkrumah.
[citation needed] The writer Joseph Godson Amamoo has suggested that the "frequent harassment and intimidation from the hands of some of the security personnel" may have resulted in "psychosomatic illnesses" which helped cause Tsiboe's early death.
