Deputy Defense Minister Rt Major Derrick Oduro has said the remains of Ghana’s first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah should not be relocated to the military cemetery.

According to the Deputy Defense Minister the current location of the remains of Ghana’s first President is befitting, “he has a park attach to it”.

He pointed out in an interview with ghanamps.com that when the remains of Ghana’s first President was moved from the Western Region to the capital he was by then a military officer and was part of the contingent that relocated the remains of the late former President.

Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is one important person who ensure that we attain independence, a whole memorial park has been created for him, his statue pointing to the former Parliament House  is very significant and where his remains is now is the best for him, he said.
