According to pro-Nkrumah Kwesi Pratt Junior, the socialist movement in Ghana continues to mark September 21 as Founder's Day even if the nation celebrates August 4 as Founders' Day.

Pratt claims that the movement is unwilling to recognize August 4 as Founders' Day, which honors all contributors, particularly the "Big Six" who spearheaded the fight for Ghana's independence.

On September 21, 2022, he said the following on the GhanaWeb-recorded episode of Good Morning Ghana:

“We still think that 21st September is Founder’s Day. We refuse to accept that 4th August is the Founders’ day.”

September 21 is a day is set aside to remember and honour Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

In September 2009, President John Evans Atta Mills declared September 21 to be Founder’s Day, a statutory holiday in Ghana.

However, it became an issue of national debate when the Akufo-Addo-led government challenged the position of Dr Kwame Nkrumah as the Founder of Ghana, adding that he is not the sole founder of Ghana.

Later, President Akufo-Addo proposed legislation to designate August 4 as Founders Day, and the birthday of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, on September 21, originally observed as Founder’s Day, to be observed as Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day.

According to the President, the decision was to acknowledge the “successive generations of Ghanaians who made vital contributions to the liberation of our country from imperialism and colonialism.”

He issued an Executive Instrument to commemorate the celebration of Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day as a public holiday.
