There were solidarity messages from key personalities that centered on the theme for the celebration. In an interview with Radio Ghana, a retired educationist, Robert Ajeni justified why Ghana’s Independence was worth celebrating. He identified partisan politics as the bane to Ghana’s backwardness and said it was about time people stop placing political lenses to issues that are of great interest to the nation, bearing in mind that development can only strive when people put their shoulders to the wheel. Mr. Ajeni further challenged Ghanaians to prioritize education and learn to rally behind governments in power as this will help fast track the execution of their development agenda. This year’s Independence Day anniversary was characterized with series of activities such as Taekwondo and other spectacular display from selected schools. ---DECRYPTED---
