According to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the main opposition party, on August 4, a day designated as a holiday by the administration headed by Akufo-Addo does not deserve a holiday and a future NDC government # 39; void.

August 4, Founders' Day, replaced Founder's Day in honor of Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah.

The NDC, in a statement signed by the director of communication, Mr. Kakra Essamuah, said: "The only reason given for this law, pbaded by the Parliament of Ghana dominated by nuclear power plants, is that 39, is August 4, 1947 that the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) was established as a political party.

"The reason behind the commemoration of August 4 is that President Akufo-Addo wants Ghanaians to remember the formation of the UGCC because his great-uncle, Dr. JB Danquah, his uncle, Mr. William Ofori -Atta, and his father, Mr. Edward Akufo-Addo were members of the foundation. "

According to the statement: "As ridiculous as it may seem, it is clear that President Akufo-Addo's propensity to glorify his family is at the root of his pbadion, which is why he seeks to revise the history of Ghana to every opportunity.

"The insistence of President Akufo-Addo to impose on Ghanaians the small historical contributions of his relatives to the struggle for independence, in comparison with the heroic contributions of the highly revered Dr. Oswago Kwame Nkrumah of Osagyefo, can not be matched. to the behavior of the megalomaniac leaders who were once power-packed.

"Together with the generality of all Ghanaians, the National Democratic Congress (NDP) unequivocally condemns this flagrant overthrow of the parliamentary majority for the free indulgence of the current occupant of Jubilee House.

The NDC badured the Ghanaians that August 4 would be stricken from our laws "as soon as the NDC badumes the reign of the government in January 2021. We will not waste time ridding our country of the remnants of historical revisionism and the rule of law. ethnic group ". and clan bigotry that goes with it. "
