NDC's silence on June 4th anniversary raises eyebrows

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has come under criticism for its failure to acknowledge the 45th anniversary of the June 4th Revolution, a significant event in Ghana's history.

According to Delanyo Agbe, an NDC activist, the party's silence on the matter is "unacceptable" and "a grave mistake."

"June 4th is a crucial part of our party's history, and ignoring it is a disservice to our founder, Jerry John Rawlings, and the sacrifices he made for this country," Agbe said in a statement

Agbe warned that sidelining Rawlings' legacy and contributions would be detrimental to the party's chances in the 2024 elections. "We cannot afford to forget the sacrifices of June 4th and the vision of our founder. We must unite and move forward, inspired by the spirit of Rawlings and the June 4th Revolution," he emphasized.

Remembering June 4th: A Call to Action for NDC and Mahama

Yesterday, June 4th, marked a significant milestone in Ghana's history - the 45th anniversary of the June 4th Revolution. As an NDC activist, I am left wondering why our great party, founded by the legendary Jerry John Rawlings, failed to issue a single statement acknowledging this momentous occasion.

The June 4th Revolution was a turning point in our nation's history, and Rawlings' leadership was instrumental in shaping Ghana's political landscape. His vision, courage, and sacrifices inspired a generation of Ghanaians, including many in our party.

As we approach the 2024 elections, it is crucial that we remember the factors that have contributed to our past successes. Rawlings' legacy and appeal remain a significant asset for our party. Any attempt to sideline his contributions or ignore his enduring popularity among Ghanaians would be a grave mistake.

I urge the NDC leadership to recognize the importance of honoring our history and embracing the Rawlings factor. Let us learn from the past and harness the energy of our founding principles to propel us to victory in 2024.

We cannot afford to forget the sacrifices of June 4th and the vision of our founder. Let us unite and move forward, inspired by the spirit of Rawlings and the June 4th Revolution.

Long Live the Memory of Jerry John Rawlings.
