Audio Attachment: Listen to Allotey Jacobs |
Allotey Jacobs, NDC Central Regional Chairman, says the party will immediately abolish August 4th as Founders' Day when voted into power, come 2020.
According to him, the first thing the NDC government will do during their dispensation is to ensure that the Founders' Day does not survive the test of time because the Akufo-Addo administration cannot impose people they believe fought for Ghana's independence on the entire nation.
In response to a question asked by 'kokrokoo' host Kwami Sefa Kayi as to whether August 4th will survive a non-NPP government to NPP's Sam Pyne, also a panelist on the show, Allotey Jacobs interjected, saying the NDC will do away with the holiday immediately they assume office.
“When NDC comes to power we will abolish it, we won't hide it . . . that is the first thing, we will even do it during the transitional period," he said.
He said on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' that when it comes to the struggle for independence for the country, the name that stands out is Ghana's First President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Though admitting he had support from people to achieve such major feat in Ghana's history, Allotey was emphatic that no person can outshine Nkrumah's role in Ghana and Africa's liberation is concerned.
“The President was an Nkrumahist. Is he forgetting his roots as a hardcore socialist that, today, he thinks we should honour some people that we’re made to believe they fought for this country? No, not at all!"

But who promised Uncle Allotey that the ndc will be coming to power again? Just like you came into power to mess up the national health insurance do you think we are dumb to bring you back to destroy our free shs? tweaaa uncle forgeti koraa, that won't happen in the next 35 years coz Ghana want to move forward not backwards . . . metchewww in shatta's voice
Now I see, so it was the same CPP people like Allotey Jacobs and former Prez. Mahama, who supported JJ Rawlings' Coup to overthrow the first Northen President of Ghana Dr. Hilla Limann, who won the election on the ticket of the CPP in 1979. That is why some of us of the CCP root will never ever vote for the NDC, or any CPP that has Kwesi Pratt as a member. At least the NPP is honest in dealing with Ghanaians, so my family and I will always vote for the NPP
And who assured you that you will be coming to power again ???
You must note the difference between 'When' and 'If'. What you ought to be saying is' If ever we come to power again'. Sad to think that characters like this guy who looks like a nightmare from a horror film has stolen so much and brought so much hardship to the people of this country.
IN YOUR DREAMS.YOU ARE NOW RICH SO YOU CAN TALK FUULISSH.
