Nigerian celebrities have joined neighbouring African country, Ghana, as they celebrate their 64th independence anniversary on Saturday.
President Nana Akufo-Addo led his country’s birthday parade at the presidential palace, Jubilee House, an event streamed on social media due to COVID-19 restrictions.
In a statement on his verified Twitter handle, President Akufo-Addo charged Ghanaians to “step up and play significant roles in the development of Ghana, our motherland. Let us bequeath to our children, their children, and generations unborn a nation of hope and opportunity, not one of despair and retrogression.
“64 years ago, we freed our nation, Ghana, from the shackles of colonialism and imperialism. We were the first nation, in colonial Africa, to gain our independence from the colonial power, and, thus, became the torchbearer of the struggle for liberation of the African continent,” he added as he wished all Ghanaians a happy anniversary.
BBNaija Reality TV stars, Anita Natacha Akide fondly called, Tacha, and Rebecca Nengi Hampson joined Ghanaians on Twitter to celebrate the special day as with native outfits symbolising the Ghanaian culture.
