The organizers acknowledged the peaceful maner in which the people comported themselves on the streets from start to finish.

The Member of Parliament for the Area, Abla Dzifa Gomashie made the point that the current economic hardship in Ghana, her area is the most hard-hit due to the “over two years of Border closure and over a year of sea erosion that has destroyed and displayed hundreds of people and property along the coast”.

According to her, she’s old enough to remember what happened on June 4

“I’m old enough to remember what happened in 1979, 1981 and what is happening today in this country, is worse”.

She challenged the government to deal with the economic problems confronting Ghanaians as she reminded the policy makers about the fact that, “let the leaders-those big names of this country know that we’re suffering, parents, fathers, mothers and all of us are suffering” .

She used the occasion to remind the gathering of, the spirit and man behind June 4 uprising and the need for “all NDC loving people to be strong and remain resolute because the challenges we are facing now are now perhaps more than what we faced then”.

“May the gentle soul of Awaklasu, the late President Jerry John Rawlings rest well in the bosom of Abraham”.
