The President, members of his government and other dignitaries are expected to fly to Ho, the Volta Regional capital on Monday, March 6 for the 66th event.
It has been in rotation across all the regions of the country and it is the turn of the Volta Region to host this year’s edition.
The annual event aims to remember the toils made by Ghana’s forefathers to gain independence from colonial rulers several decades ago. But Barker-Vormawor says it is a perfect platform to echo the anger and suffering of Ghanaians under the Akufo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party government.

Last year, both the President and his vice, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia were booed at events at different times by Ghanaians who are not pleased with the economic crisis, mismanagement, and corruption among other things that have characterized the incumbent administration. One such incident occurred in Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region which is the world bank of the governing NPP where residents shamed the President.
