The Takoradi branch of the Young Revolutionary Cadres of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), on Wednesday held a wreath-laying ceremony and a durbar to commemorate the 46th anniversary of the June 4 uprising.
The event, held in Takoradi, was on the theme: “Resetting Ghana for Accountable Governance.”
Mr Joseph Nelson, the Western Regional Minister, in a speech read on his behalf commended the Young Revolutionary Cadres for taking the initiative to organise the 2025 celebration.
He said the anniversary was a step in the right direction to reiterate the importance of the June 4, 1979, uprising in the current democratic dispensation of the country.
He noted that: “The June 4 uprising was to restore dignity to the Ghanaian people and ameliorate the suffering of the people because they believed in good governance, democracy, probity, accountability, and the rule of law.
On the theme, he stated that resetting Ghana was a process that needed discipline, hard work, honesty, commitment and patriotism to attain that feet.
Mr Nelson encouraged the Young Cadres to be steadfast and guided by their core principles, and work to inculcate the values of the June 4 revolution in their lives to make society a better place for all.
Mr Fredrick Faidoo, the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), said the revolution had stood the test of time, and had become an important event in the nation’s political history.
He said the NDC government would keep on with its resetting agenda to meet the needs of Ghanaians just as the June 4 uprising stood for.
Mr Samuel Donkor, a National Executive Member of the United Front Cadres, urged members to lift high the banner of the revolution and work hard towards achieving a better future for all Ghanaians.
