On Thursday, 4th August 2022, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo celebrated Founders’ Day with divers distinguished Senior Citizens, which happens to be the fourth time in our nation’s history that August 4th has been so rightfully commemorated.
The importance of this day cannot be over emphasised, as two of the most significant events in our national history, which led to the attainment of national independence, occurred on this day, hence its designation as Founders’ Day.
He referred there, to the formation of the Aborigines Rights Protection Society, whose members protected our lands from the grasp of the greedy colonialists, and the formation of the United Gold Coast Convention, which first sounded the clarion call for freedom from colonial bondage.
4th August is the date which shaped and determined the course of our collective history setting the stage for an organised front for Ghana’s independence struggle.
It’s with great pleasure that a day is celebrated to remember the total of them that by hard work and dedicated perseverance won it all for Ghana.
