Renowned Ghanaian broadcaster, Abeiku Santana, has dropped a surprising revelation about the country’s former leaders. According to him, all former Presidents of Ghana, at one point, visited Kwame Nkrumah’s family house and went to bathe in the river located behind it.
Speaking on his show, Abeiku Santana described the act as one of Ghana’s “untold secrets,” suggesting it may have been linked to tradition, spirituality, or symbolism connected to the legacy of Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
While details surrounding the ritual remain unclear, the disclosure has sparked widespread public debate. Some Ghanaians see it as a mark of respect to Nkrumah’s enduring influence, while others believe it points to deep-rooted traditional practices among the nation’s leaders.
Abeiku Santana did not provide exact timelines or further explanations, but the statement has raised curiosity about the cultural and historical significance of the river and why it may have been a place of symbolic cleansing for Ghana’s heads of state.
The revelation adds another fascinating layer to the myths and traditions surrounding Kwame Nkrumah, whose legacy continues to shape Ghana’s political and cultural identity.
