The Vice President, Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, on Thursday, June 4, joined the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC,) to mark this year’s June 4 celebration at Banda Ahenkro in the Bono Region.
The celebration, one of the most important programmes on the NDC calendar, marks the 1979 uprising which saw the late Jerry John Rawlings become the head of state.
The event was also attended by the national chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, general secretary Fifi Kwetey, members and supporters of the party.
The Vice President was also accompanied by the former national chairman Samuel Ofosu Ampofo and Alex Segbefia, a onetime Health Minister.
Other attendees were representatives of the security agencies, religious leaders, traditional leaders, school children among others.
In her speech, Prof Opoku-Agyemang said regardless of the difficulties of the past, acknowledgement should be made of the journey so far.
She said the government is on course to deliver pointing out that it has stayed committed to reduce the size bringing efficiency.
While acknowledging the enormous task Ghana faces, she encouraged Ghanaians to play their individual roles to help push forward for the common good.
“As part of our aim to reset Ghana, the Mahama Government was structured to reduce bloat while improving efficiency, and to be deliberate about maintaining the pillars of democracy and accountability.
We still have far to go as a nation. We continue to encourage every citizen to play an active role in building the Ghana we all want”, she summarized her speech in a Facebook post.
