NDC Central Regional Chairman, Allotey Jacobs, says the party will immediately abolish August 4th as Founders\u2019 Day when voted into power, come 2020.<\/p>\n

According to him, the first thing the NDC government will do during their dispensation is to ensure that the Founders\u2019 Day does not survive the test of time because the Akufo-Addo administration cannot impose people they believe fought for Ghana\u2019s independence on the entire nation.<\/p>\n

In response to a question asked by \u2018kokrokoo\u2019 host Kwami Sefa Kayi as to whether August 4th will survive a non-NPP government to NPP\u2019s Sam Pyne, also a panelist on the show, Allotey Jacobs interjected, saying the NDC will do away with the holiday immediately they assume office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen NDC comes to power we will abolish it, we won\u2019t hide it . . . that is the first thing, we will even do it during the transitional period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said on Peace FM\u2019s \u2018Kokrokoo\u2019 that when it comes to the struggle for independence for the country, the name that stands out is Ghana\u2019s First President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.<\/p>\n

Though admitting he had support from people to achieve such major feat in Ghana\u2019s history, Allotey was emphatic that no person can outshine Nkrumah\u2019s role in Ghana and Africa\u2019s liberation is concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President was an Nkrumahist. Is he forgetting his roots as a hardcore socialist that, today, he thinks we should honour some people that we\u2019re made to believe they fought for this country? No, not at all!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
