Kwame Baffoe known in political circles as Abronye DC, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced plans to lead a 36-day procession in Accra from December 1, 2023, to January 5, 2024, under the banner of the Patriotic Forum for Accountable Governance (PaFFAG).
The purpose of the procession is to express gratitude to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his government for their effective handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and steering the nation toward economic recovery post-pandemic.
In a letter addressed to the Ghana Police Service, Abronye explained the objective of the procession.
The chosen route runs from 37 bus stops to Jubilee House for its visibility and accessibility. The group assured authorities that they would take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of all participants and the general public.
The request seeks permission for a peaceful procession to show appreciation for President Akufo-Addo’s leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic recovery.
The group is open to meeting with a police department representative to discuss their plans in more detail and address any concerns or questions the authorities may have.
“President Akufo-Addo has shown outstanding leadership during these challenging times, and we believe he deserves our gratitude,” said Abronye. “We are confident that this procession will be a fitting tribute to his unwavering commitment to the people of Ghana.”
The procession is expected to attract thousands of participants, including members of the NPP, PaFFAG, and other supporters of President Akufo-Addo. It will be a significant milestone in Ghana’s political landscape and a testament to the enduring strength of the country’s democracy.
The Ghana Police Service has yet to respond to the letter, but Abronye and his team remain optimistic that their request will be granted.
The procession is expected to be one of the most significant public events in Ghana’s history.
