One of the undying principle of the June 4 uprising was that, there
should be an established society in which all Ghanaians, without
regard to the kind of tribal marks on the face, level of education,
status in the society where, are equal before the law; a society where
there will not be in Ghana, one law for the so-called BIGMAN and
another for the labourer.
This was and is still the true message of June 4 which the NPP and its
presidential candidate, Nana Akuffo Addo, Ex-president Kuffour and
among others love to hate and that explains why Ex-president J.A.
Kuffour outlawed June 4 through a legislation during his
administration in 2001.
In fact, they have done everything to denigrate June 4 and its
architects both internally and externally (International community).
Paradoxically on 33rd anniversary of the June 4, they are scheming to
bus their supporters to the venue at Aflao just to increase the
numbers at the durbar.
As usual, in their desperation to attain power at all cost, they seem
to be capitalizing on the seeming cracks in the National Democratic
Congress to their advantage.
It was understood at one of their meetings that, with a seeming
massive support, Ex-president Rawlings will get the impression that he
has more support for his stance in the scheme of affairs in the NDC.
According to the source, the NPP will organize 22 buses; seven(7) from
Greater Accra, six(60 from Ashanti; five(5) from Brong Ahafo and
four(4) from parts of the Volta Region, full of NPP supporters to
converge at Aflao, venue for this year’s June 4 celebrations.
It is laughable listening to the NPP these days. There appears to be
a remarkable inability or deliberate failure to remember what they
have said previously.
On every June 4, the NPP would shout against the celebration, pointing
out how all military coups are bad and why they must be condemned.
This is what they must do, otherwise, they stand no chance of winning
any votes in the 2012 elections.
