May 15 and June 4 Celebration

The Office of President Rawlings has noted that a group of persons with mischievous intentions are going round the country misinforming unsuspecting admirers and followers of the ideals of President Rawlings that they are organizing events marking the May 15 revolt as well as the June 4 uprising.

This office has in conjunction with relevant stakeholders and admirers and followers of the ideals of President Rawlings, always initiated events marking May 15, June 4 and December 31.

President Rawlings cannot be averse to people wishing to commemorate these events as they impacted significantly and positively on the political and economic fortunes of Ghana and changed the tide of Ghanaian political history.

It is however unacceptable for unscrupulous persons to go round the country announcing they are organizing events to mark May 15 and June 4 with the full support of President Rawlings, when that is false.

President Rawlings has not given his blessing to such arrangements.

Arrangements are already in place for events to commemorate the two anniversaries and we invite all who are interested in joining and supporting such a process not to hesitate to contact this office.

The tentative anniversary details are as follows:

MAY 15, 2012 ­ LAUNCH OF ACTIVITIES MARKING THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 31ST DECEMBER WOMEN¹S MOVEMENT AT THE GOLDEN TULIP HOTEL IN ACCRA

MAY 20, 2012 ­ DWM THANKSGIVING SERVICE AT THE SOLID ROCK MINISTRY, KWABENYA

Thank you.
