Relationship with Guinea
Guinea, the country that made Nkrumah a Co-president for his immense support after French political and financial abandonment in 1958, held Nkrumah dearly after his overthrow and during his ill health.
His first son, Dr. Francis Nkrumah, who is now a professor, visited his ailing father in Guinea intermittently from Ghana where he lectured at the University of Ghana.
