Former Secretary General of the UN Kofi Annan returned home on January 23, 2007.
The hype paid off. Crowds of people from all walks of life thronged to the airport to welcome Ghana's favorite son: His Excellency Busumuru Dr. Kofi Annan and his wife Nane. Even though they arrived late in the evening the welcome was extra special with dancing et al. Chiefs, diplomats, ministers, the President and his Vice were all there.
Will he run for the Castle in 2008? He doesn't have to! Just a day after he was instrumental in making peace between the 2J's.
But his lecture last Thursday, January 25, 2007 at the Accra International Conference Centre (Inaugural Golden Jubilee Lecture) was a real killer. I got a ticket which I passed onto Nana B O VII. He thoroughly enjoyed it the event.
In my opinion, Busumuru has kick-started the Ghana@50 celebrations. Check out my Ghana@50 event calendar here
