<p>Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the Director of Communications for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 2024 presidential campaign, has accused President John Dramani Mahama of turning Ghana’s 68th Independence Day celebration to National Democratic Congress (NDC) thanksgiving service.</p>



<p>Speaking on Wontumi TV on March 17, 2025, Aboagye claimed that many Ghanaians were left outside the Jubilee House while the event became an NDC-only gathering.</p>



<p>&#8220;He made Ghanaians stand on the roadside to watch the March 6 celebration at the Jubilee House. That day, I was very sad when I passed by. This was something the TV stations did not show, so many people did not realize what happened,&#8221;he lamented.</p>



<p>He further alleged that invitations were strictly given to NDC members, stating, &#8220;The March 6 celebration was an NDC event. They turned it into a thanksgiving service while ordinary Ghanaians stood behind the fence watching. If the aim was to cut costs, why exclude the people?&#8221;</p>



<p>President Mahama, however, justified the scaled-down celebration, revealing that it cost GH¢1.5 million—just 10% of the GH¢15 million spent in 2024.</p>



<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s celebration costs GH¢1.5 million, which is only one-tenth of what it would have cost to hold it at Independence Square. The cost of last year&#8217;s celebration in Koforidua was GH¢15 million, and in Ho, it was GH¢13.7 million. Holding the same event at Independence Square this year on the same scale as previous years would have cost a minimum of GH¢20 million,&#8221; he stated.</p>
