Bawumia’s facts empty – Ivor Greenstreet
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.
