A cross section of Ghanaians have urged the Government of Ghana to declare the memorial of the May 9th, 2001 Accra Stadium Disaster as a “National Day of Observance”. The concerned Ghanaians informed the press after the annual May 9th Remembered Street walk, in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital, last Saturday. The walk was organized by the sponsors and founders of the yearly ‘May 9th Remembered” led by Mr Herbert Mensah, former Kotoko Chief Executive Officer of Kumasi Asante Kotoko. According to some of the participants, the memorial of a national disaster of such magnitude must be embraced and respected by the state as a national event rather than to look on while private individuals make personal sacrifices to keep the memory of those who lost their lives alive. The Ashanti Regional Chief Imam, Sheikh Abdul Mumin Haruun, added his voice to the call for the authorities to support the annual ‘May 9th Remembered’ commemoration.
