He said listening to discussions by senior party figures about the NDC’s history and future inspired him to prepare himself for a similar role.

“I said to myself, one day I should be able to have this conversation as well. I’m a direct product of the success of this party. Me, for one, I don’t think I should have any excuse.

“It’s important for us to know and understand the values that our forefathers, who went through the struggle to set up this party, had in mind when we wanted this party to go to the future,” he stated.

Atta Mills stressed the need for young NDC members to learn about the ideals that guided the party’s founders.

According to him, understanding the party’s history is necessary for those who want to contribute to its future.

He also announced plans to enrol in the NDC’s proposed school, noting that he wants to gain a deeper understanding of the party’s principles and history.

“As soon as that party school is done, I will enrol and become one of the first students in the party school. I want to graduate from that school and have a certificate so that tomorrow I can show that I went through the mill and I got to where I am,” he added.
