Son of the first president of Ghana, Dr. Onsy Kwame Nkrumah, has suggested that the name Founder’s Day, a day set aside to celebrate the Life of the first president of Ghana be changed to “Kwame Nkrumah” Day to add value to the celebration.

He noted that the likes of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jnr have their days officially recognized and celebrated in South Africa and the United States of America and Kwame Nkrumah should be treated as such.

He indicated that the Founder’s Day must be renamed Nkrumah’s Day to have the same value and recognition.

According to DR Onsy Nkrumah, the name “Kwame Nkrumah” is very popular all over the world and would help identify Ghana easily abroad and on the tourism map.
