Ghanaian actors, Chris Attoh and John Dumelo today joined their countrymen and women to celebrate the 105th birthday of the country’s first President and most influential political figure, Kwame Nkrumah.
An excited Attoh wrote on Twitter: ‘Morning all! Happy founders day, we celebrate a great leader, Dr Kwame Nkrumah have a great day all, God bless the United States of Africa’ while Dumelo subtly cast doubts on the independence of the country in his post.
The celebration, which has being instituted as the Founders Day since 2010 ,is usually marked with lectures, symposiums and other programmes to highlight Nkrumah’s achievements and legacy.
This year’s edition kicked off since Sunday, September 14, 2014 and saw the launch and reprint of The Big Lie, a book written by Nkrumah in 1969.
