The Guide

In a lead story, the Guide reports that the NPP has stated categorically that it will not take part in the June Four anniversary celebrations that would be crowned with a football match between MPs and Ministers of state.

The NPP MPs will therefore not take part in the match that is supposed a curtain-raiser to the Kotoko-Hearts of Oak match on tomorrow.

The paper quotes Mr Dan Botwe, General Secretary of the NPP as saying the emphatic position is is in reaction to a publication in the "Daily Graphic" of May 28, 1999, which tried to include the NPP in the whole celebration. "The NPP regards the story as distasteful and unreservedly condemns this underhand attempt to link the party to the infamous ?June Four coup".
