In modesty but with class, Ghana celebrated its 60th Independence Anniversary on March 6 to showcase to the world our democratic achievements since independence.
The event which took place successfully under the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration wouldn’t have been the same had the National Democratic Congress (NDC), remained in power.
The above, was a remark passed by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako.
According to the NPP scribe, had the NDC put together the event, damaging controversies would have been up for major discussions- outshining the milestone the nation has chalked.
Prior to the Ghana@60 celebration, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, inaugurated a 30-member Committee to plan the celebration of event.
The Committee had just six weeks to plan the event and Mr. Antwi Boasiako, has congratulated them for the wonderful work they have done.
Speaking to Peacefmonline.com in an interview, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako noted that the event would have looked like a ‘Kiddafest’ show for children rather than one that complements the country’s age if the NDC had been in charge.
KIDDAFEST is an event which gives children the platform to exhibit their creative talents in various forms including dance.
He took a swipe at the deputy General Scretary of the NDC, Mr, Anyidoho noting that he would have looted state properties if they were in power.
According to him, “Koku Anyidoho would have been busy for nothing going round looking for opportunities to do the country in. Stan Dogbe would have also shifted his attention on printing souvenirs like presidential dairies and end up incurring huge debt for the nation to pay whilst lining his pocket.
NDC wouldn’t have acted serious in organising a national event so in the end we would have a disorganized event that only children can enjoy. It would be like the kiddafest show, though educative and fun, only children of a certain age can enjoy”, he said.
He went further to state that to make matters worse, NDC foot soldiers would have forced their way to the Independence grounds in their party colours without caring about its implication if they were still in power.
“They (NDC foot soldiers) would have been at the parade grounds in their party t-shirts and marched alongside our security forces. If you dare stop them, Aseidu Nketia would tell you that he has instructed them to do it and ex-president Mahama would have watched on haplessly”, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako added.

We all have come to realised how opportunistic the NDC party were. People without a clue what leadership is about. Uncivilised ministers thinking been in power means power over the people
Wontumi ne NKWASIA KEKA DE3 LOL.
SHORT SIGHTED CHAIRMAN. HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO SAY.IS HE STILL CAMPAIGNING FOR NPP OR RULING. LITTLE MINDED PEOPLE. THEY CAN IDENTIFY THE LOG ON THEIR EYES BUT CAN SEE THE SPECK ON OTHER PEOPLES EYES.
Chairman Wontumi is right. Stan Dogbe would have printed in the anniversary brochure, "His Excellency Robert Mugabe, President of GHANA" NDC is just plain ***barred word*** !!!
childish argument. Both parties fix the dumsor & stop these childish back & forth argument.
Time to look beyond the incompetence of NDC. Your G@60 opening could not even stand up to key soap concert party. Infact NDC are better at organizing events than what you did. Better look for exellence than always comparing yourself to NDC. Apart from probably the address of Nana Addo, everything was a flop.
Why always brings non entity guy speck
But seriously speaking if NDC has organized this even like we would have sold the country to cover up the debt that will come after the celebration or increase tax for tax payers to pay that debt, we are just grateful it was simple and nice cos NDC would have dione their printing from outside Ghana, boi, I trust Nana to deliver
