The uninterrupted process of the current dispensation, birthed by a regime deemed unconstitutional, underscore the need for all to have enduring spirit and stand the test of time\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Read full text of his statement below;<\/p>\n<p><b>31st December Anniversary Message by Dr Ekwow Spio Garbrah<\/b><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Revolution of 31st December 1981 launched by the erstwhile Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) administration under Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings is thirty six years in 2017.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nApostles of the revolution called it an act of social, economic and political cleansing to reverse decadence and to restore functionality and hope in our body politic.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe side effect of the period were alleged excesses which occurred due to illegalities. It is in order that the revolution is marked to among other things, remember those whose lives were sacrificed during that era.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nHowever, the proponents and the opponents of the putsch that swept the scene for eleven years, agree on one thing. That the period laid the foundation for Ghana\u2019s Fourth Republican rule.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe uninterrupted process of the current dispensation, birthed by a regime deemed unconstitutional, underscore the need for all to have enduring spirit and stand the test of time.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe mantra of the PNDC- \u201cprobity, accountability and Integrity\u201d is perhaps the required standard the nation needs most to cure most of the ills of society.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe revolution instituted some of the most acceptable pillars of nationhood via democratic means and otherwise. Landmark achievements include, the decentralized local government system and the interstate succession law. As we mark the revolution, l pray the nation avoids the path that invited the military intervention which later had a dominance of civilian flavour.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n I also pray that the dividends of the revolution guide and motivate Ghanaians to do more, to achieve even greater dividends because of the open system we now operate and the additional sources of public financing available. Forever to be remembered but never again<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 43 updated by: 43 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Sunday, 31 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-31 Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah hoped that the dividends of the revolution will guide and motivate Ghanaians Former Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Ekwow Spio Garbrah has cautioned current leaders of the country to avoid paths that will invite military intervention, as was witnessed under the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":429613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-451237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>We must avoid paths that will invite military intervention - Spio Garbrah - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/12\/31\/we-must-avoid-paths-that-will-invite-military-intervention-spio-garbrah\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"We must avoid paths that will invite military intervention - Spio Garbrah - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"General News of Sunday, 31 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-31 Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah hoped that the dividends of the revolution will guide and motivate Ghanaians Former Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Ekwow Spio Garbrah has cautioned current leaders of the country to avoid paths that will invite military intervention, as was witnessed under the [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/31\\\/we-must-avoid-paths-that-will-invite-military-intervention-spio-garbrah\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/31\\\/we-must-avoid-paths-that-will-invite-military-intervention-spio-garbrah\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"We must avoid paths that will invite military intervention &#8211;
