The day has traditionally been observed as a public holiday to honour the sacrifices made by the nation\u2019s founders.<\/p>\n<p>Successive leaders, including military juntas, maintained this tradition until 2017, when the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government led by Nana Akufo-Addo removed Republic Day from the national public holiday calendar.<\/p>\n<p>On his Facebook wall on Monday, July 1, 2024, former President Mahama described the decision to scrap Republic Day as regrettable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Comment of Mahama on Facebook:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we commemorate this year\u2019s Republic Day, I invite you to remember the dedication, sacrifices, and commitment of our country&#8217;s forebearers, led by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, in their efforts to build a Ghana that benefits and creates opportunities for all its citizens.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cIt is most regrettable that the current government has scrapped commemorating this important day as a public holiday. However, as we reflect on the significance of Republic Day, let us use this as a rallying call to rekindle the spirit of dedication and commitment that our forebearers demonstrated.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe must continue building a better, renewed Ghana, where opportunities are created for everyone to thrive. On this Republic Day, let us reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of unity, peace, and progress for Ghana. Let us unite our efforts to ensure that the sacrifices of our predecessors were not in vain and that we continue to build a nation in which we can all take pride.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14969\" style=\"width: 190px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14969\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DR-KWAME-NKRUMAH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"190\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DR-KWAME-NKRUMAH.jpg 190w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DR-KWAME-NKRUMAH-179x250.jpg 179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>OSAGYEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHappy Republic Day to all of us.
