Enough of 24 years of NPP, NDC duopoly - Greenstreet
The presidential nominee of the Convention Peoples Party claims Ghanaians have had enough of the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress.
Ivor Greenstreet, who is seeking to bring the CPP back to power after the party's overthrow in a 1966 coup said the two parties have made Ghana susceptible to abuse and corruption.
Addressing party bigwigs at the launch of the party's manifesto in Accra Saturday, the regime of the two parties has been full of "24 years of arguments, vindictiveness, rancor and darkness."
He said: “We must bring back our dignity as a nation. A nation without dignity is susceptible to abuse and corruption and that is what we see before us today in all spheres of our nation’s life.
"We are abused by our leaders who fail to care for our people and our society have become endemic to corruption. 24 years of the NDC and the NPP, 24 years of arguments, vindictiveness, rancor and darkness, it’s okay. We have had enough."
"NDC and the NPP are the same; we have had enough of them. NDC and NPP merely continue to offer us what they’ve been offering us for 24 years and that is their greatest specialty; lie upon lie.
"And there is a special word to describe continues lies because continues lies is no longer is called a lie and that special word is mendacity.”
Greenstreet also vowed to repeal the Petroleum and Exploration Law.
According to him, the country is not benefiting from it.
He promised to replace it with Production Sharing Formula where the state and the oil exploration firms will share the revenue equally.
