NDC Solidarity March: Over 10,000 peoples are expected -Fred Agbenyo

The National deputy communication officer of the biggest opposition party (NDC), Mr. Fred Agbenyo has stated that, over ten thousand people will be expected at the solidarity march by the opposition National Democratic Congress NDC on Thursday September 21, 2017 in the Greater Accra region.

NDC will hold a solidarity march on Thursday September 21 to commemorate the founders’ day celebration of the birth of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

He further explained that, the event will start around 6am at Nima through the principal street of Accra to Kwame Nkrumah Circle then to UTC and end at the community Centre next to Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum.

With the issue of security, he said there will be a heavy presence of security personnel to ensure proper protection.

Speaking to Radio 1 news Mr. Fred Agbenyo said, NDC is against the proposal of August 4 as founder’s day, because March 6, 1957 was a holiday to commemorate Ghana’s independence fighters which includes the big (six).

‘’Why should August 4 be celebrated twice? It’s a waste of time, money and why should we twist the history of Ghana, I don’t know the rational behind the idea of NPP’s founder’s day proposal.’’ he questioned.

He urged anyone whose intention is to come and cause commotion to advise him/herself, because such person will not be spared.

Mr. Agbenyo called on all NDC sympathizers and Ghanaians to come and participate and witness a peaceful solidarity march, irrespective of their political affiliation. With regards to the dress code, Mr. Fred advised the participants to be in NDC attire or any white T-shirt.

Meanwhile the deputy communication officer debunked the speculation that the March was not organized by former president John Dramani Mahama but is organized by NDC Greater Accra Region executives.
