Hiplife musician, Guru, has called on the Akufo-Addo-led administration to rename the Kotoka International Airport after Ghana’s first President Kwame Nkrumah.

The musician believes the honour will be well-appreciated by the Convention People’s Party (CPP), which Dr Nkrumah founded, as well as his children and family.

Guru tweeted: “Kwame Nkrumah International Airport… drop the Kotoka name”.

The Kotoka Airport has gone through facelifts by successive governments

The Late Lt. General Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka was the first coup maker in Ghana whose National Liberation Council (NLM) overthrew Dr Kwame Nkrumah on 24 February 1966.

He was killed a year after the coup at the forecourt of the country's Airport, which informed the naming of the national airport after him.
