Today marks 40 years that the First President of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah died in Bucharest, Romania, after battling with cancer. Ghana�s first President is remembered among other achievements to have been the arrowhead of the independence struggle. The Communication Director of the Convention People�s Party, CPP Nii Armah Akomfrah told Citi News the party would hold a memorial service in honour of the visionary leader. He said �it�s a sad occasion, it�s a solemn occasion but also its an occasion for all to reflect on where we�ve come as a nation and why the legacy of Nkrumah is still relevant. We�ll be taking a few more day after that to do different things globally and here in Ghana. �It�s a big occasion for us and we hope that many people who cherish the memory of Nkrumah, many people who love and respect him would join us.�
