A stalwart of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has disclosed what business Ghana's first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, wanted to do when he arrived in Ghana before joining the struggle for independence. He said Dr. Nkrumah wanted to run an eatery and later set up a library.
"Before Nkrumah came to Ghana, there is a book, Nkrumah's years abroad, and I think some of the correspondence you can find at the Balm Library.
