The Commander-In-Chief of the Economic Fighters Front (EFF), Julius Malema, is scheduled to arrive in Accra on January 23, for a significant dialogue with Africa's youth.
Organised by AriseGhana, the event aims to offer Ghana's youth an opportunity to glean insights from Malema's fervent activism and radicalism, along with his unwavering passion for a liberated and united Africa.
During his visit, Mr. Malema plans to extend courtesy calls to John Agyekum Kufuor and John Dramani Mahama, the two living former Presidents of Ghana.
This information was conveyed in a statement issued by AriseGhana on Monday, January 22.
AriseGhana, in the statement signed by its co-convener, Bernard Mornah, also revealed that Malema will pay tribute to the legendary Pan-Africanist and first President of Ghana, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, by laying a wreath at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park.
"This dialogue with Comrade Julius Malema which is under the auspices of AriseGhana, is intended to afford the youth of Ghana an opportunity to tap from the reverberating activism and radicalism of the leader of EFF whose passion for a liberated and united Africa remains unquenchable."
"As part of his visit to Ghana, Comrade Malema shall pay a courtesy call on H.E. John Agyekum Kufuor, as well as H.E. John Dramani Mahama, the two former Presidents of Ghana, before laying a wreath at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park in honour of the legendary Pan Africanist and first President of Ghana, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.”
The statement extended a warm welcome to Mr. Malema, inviting the public and all progressives to attend and participate in this historic event.
