The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has been asked for permission by the Patriotic Forum for Accountable Governance (PaFFAG) group to conduct a nonviolent parade at the Jubilee House.
A statement from the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, states that the primary objective of the protest is to thank President Akufo-Addo for steering the nation through the COVID-19 pandemic and placing it on a path toward economic recovery.
This peaceful procession is scheduled to take place in Accra from December 1, 2023, to January 5, 2024, as per the press release that was obtained by 1Family Radio.
For managing the COVID-19 pandemic and steering the country’s economic recovery after it, the group concluded that the government should be applauded.
“We are writing to request permission to hold a peaceful procession in Accra from December 1st, 2023, to January 5th, 2024. The purpose of this procession or assembly is to express our heartfelt appreciation to His Excellency President Akufo Addo for sustaining the nation through the COVID-19 pandemic and setting the nation on a path of economic recovery,” parts of the letter read.
“We have carefully selected 37 bus stops to Jubilee House as the route for this demonstration due to its visibility and accessibility. We assure you that we will take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of all participants and the general public.’’
“We would be grateful for the opportunity to meet with a representative from the police department to discuss our plans in more detail and address any concerns or questions you may have,” it added.
If the Ghana Police Service approves the procession, it is probably going to conflict with the #FixTheCountry movement’s 30-day planned demonstration in December.
