The 2016 flag bearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, has taken a swipe at the vice-presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as a man who spews empty facts.
Speaking at a campaign at Janga in the Walewale constituency of the Northern Region, Mr Greenstreet said Dr Bawumia has only visited and donated to the people of the North in an attempt to deceive them to vote for the NPP so he can become vice president.
He called on the people to reject the NPP and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) if they wanted development in their lives.
“I thought this was the place where the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Bawumia, came from, because he is always talking about facts and figures and long talks in Accra. And I have discovered that none of his long talks and facts and figures means anything on the ground, and apart from his long talks and his empty facts and figures meaning nothing on the ground, I thought that at least within the Mamprusi area they will mean something, not knowing that for eight years the NPP did nothing here,” Mr Greenstreet noted.
“And for eight years, the NDC has also come and done nothing here because every chief we have gone to, every person we have spoken to has complained to us that there is no water, [there are] poor educational facilities, and poor roads.”
According to Mr Greenstreet, because Dr Bawumia wants to be vice president, “suddenly he comes and gives a borehole and makes some donation to our hospital to make the people think that he cares for them”, questioning: “Where has he been all these years? He has never been part of the Northern agenda. He is one of these Accra northerners who has only come to talk empty talk to deceive the people of Walewale, deceive the people of Mamprusi, to deceive the people of the Northern Region and deceive the people of Ghana”.
Mr Greenstreet noted that the NPP and the NDC’s performance in governance was not good enough, hence both parties should be rejected.
He urged the electorate to vote for the CPP because it was the only party that has truly served the people of the three regions in the North and the entire people of the Ghana.

Greenstreet wants to be an opposition leader rather than a president. I am a floating voter and I want to vote for a leader who will provide alternative to the ruling party but not a leader who is contesting an opposition party. So I find it difficult to understand Mr. Green street style of politics. Focus your energy on the presidency not on Bawumia. If Greenstreet does not take care he will be the worse performing CPP leader bcos he is not serious to be the president of Ghana
in fact geenstreet has really the hit the nail on the head, the fact is always a fact,
Gone are the days else someone called Greenstreet with NO clan inclination would have been slaughtered to appease the gods. Odwan
A dye in the wool NDC...Greenstreet. Onyame ahu wo...ooo. That is why he gets on well with KABILA...the traitor par excellence!
STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE POLITICIAN KEEP ON CAMPAIGN FOR NDC AND LEAVE UR CPP. NO WONDER
God knows why He created some people differently. Being crippled physicality does not mean that you are crippled mentally. A miserable cripple you are and that you will remain.
BAM,,, MR GREENSTREET...YOU ARE ON POINT. BUT IT WILL NOT EARN YOU ANY CREDIT FOR GOING THAT TANGENT....AS YOU RIGHTLY STATED... THAT LIAR ONLY SINKS BORE HOLES BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE SOMEONES VICE PRESIDENT... BUT YOU SHOULD REALIZE HOW IRRELEVANT AND HOLLOW HIS ARGUMENTS ARE.. AND HE EXPECTS THE PRESIDENT AND HIS VEEP TO WASTE PRECIOUS TIME ON ON THIS THING WHICH IS MEANT FOR A FIRST YEAR ECONOMIC STUDENT... I SEE THAT THOSE ECONOMIC THEORIES ARE WHAT FASCINATED HIS BOSS AND THE NPP STALWARTS, HENCE THE VAINGLORY. FORGETTING THAT KUFFOUR HIMSELF ADMITTED THAT PRACTICAL ECONOMICS FAR OUT WEIGHS THE THEORIES. SO INFANTILE BRAINS HAS NO BUSINESS IN A GROWING ECONOMY LIKE OURS. SO YOU GREENSTREET BEING AN ERUDITE,,, SHOULD IGNORE THIS NEOPHYITE IN YOUR CAMPAIGN.
Tell the people what you will do them and stop bashing your opponent who is fighting just as you are.You seem to be on a different campaign agenda other that that of the CPP.This was a similar agenda to Hassan Ayariga as in the other election.Full bodied men can't even accomplish,I rest my case
Is this man working for CPP or NDC? Shame!
I humbly appeal to all NPPians on this platform not to glorify the noise of this NDC mole called Greensrreet with a comment. I wasted my time reading his rants. He needs to satisfy his paymasters to remain relevant . CPP died with Nkrumah
