Kwame Nkrumah, and military ruler Ignatius Kutu Acheampong.

Frimpong Anokye discloses that Acheampong had two best friends, one of whom was Kwame Nkrumah.

Acheampong's strong relationship with Kwame Nkrumah had its foundation in an intervention by Kwame Nkrumah that prevented Acheampong from being dismissed from the military training school.
