The Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) has today registered its displeasure at President\u2019s Akufo-Addo\u2019s decision to move founder\u2019s day from September 21 to August 4.<\/p>\n

The Presidency in a statement released on September 15 announced that September 21 will this year be celebrated as Kwame Nkrumah Memorial day.<\/p>\n

It also revealed plans to present legislation before Parliament to set aside August 4 as a day to celebrate the many founders of Ghana.<\/p>\n

The CPP believes the arguments advanced are lame.<\/p>\n

The CPP Director of Communications, Abdul Kadri Rauf in an interview on Joy News said he is not surprised about the move by President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

He said the change of dates is not about the history of Ghana but rather to please President Akufo-Addo\u2019s ancestry.<\/p>\n

Abdul Kadri Rauf said the CPP will ensure the legacy of Ghana\u2019s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is protected.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
