Mr Ivor Kobina Greenstreet has stated that “the inability to pay school fees, get access to healthcare, or getting a paid job to care for one’s self were all disabilities,” and that a large number of Ghanaians who were unemployed show a high number of persons disabled by their circumstances.
He made these comments in Wa at a mini rally.
The Greenstreet 2016 campaign tour of “Apam Foforͻ” hit the capital of the Upper West region, Wa on Friday, May 13, 2016 where among the Walla the sacred covenant translates as “Mwini-Sumbu”.
Amongst the delegation were the Chairman and Leader, Prof Edmund N. Delle, Campaign Strategist, Kwabena Bomfeh Jnr, other national and regional executives as well as the Presidential Candidate, Ivor Kobina Greenstreet.
Praying their entry into Wa, the entourage paid courtesy calls on the Yeri-Naa (Chief of the Muslim Community), the regional Chief Imam, and the Maulvi of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement. At each of those places the welcome was refreshing with crying calls for a return to Nkrumaist principles of self-reliance that lead to job creation for the teeming unemployed youth and women.
After receiving the welcome from the spiritual leaders they proceeded to the crowded market grounds where a mini rally was held.
With a large crowd and amidst thunderous applause the Presidential Candidate explained the meaning of “mwini-sumbu” to the audience. That “NDC and NPP have given politicians a very bad name because they had both failed Ghanaians with their broken promises and the failure to offer hope to them.”
He stressed “the NDC should be removed office but that NEVER should the replacement be the NPP. Ghana’s only Hope is the CPP, the Akokͻ party!”
He said the CPP would ensure that Government would intensify the needed incentives and regulatory framework to enable the establishment of factories that would process local resources thereby making profits and give employment to the youth and women.
Among the audiences were a significant number of persons with disabilities who were elated to see the CPP Presidential Candidate in wheels as an encouragement that they also had a huge contribution to make to the nation’s development process.
Speaking to the media after the programme, one of them also in a wheel chair labelled with posters of Mr Greenstreet pledged that he was going to campaign all the way for the man he claimed understood his feelings best. |
