Time to remove self-imposed colonialist ideologies- Ivor Greenstreet

The 2016 presidential people’s party, (CPP) Ivor Kwabena Greestreet says the time has come to remove the self and other imposed constraints especially the constraints of mind that the neo-colonial governments, including the NDC and the NPP, have imposed on the citizenry, for Ghana to work again.

Mr. Greestreet said this when he joined the Chiefs and people of Kokofu, in Bekwa in the Ashanti region, to  mark their annual Opemsuo Festival.

According to him, the CPP represents a new Spirited Ghana, a new spirit of Positive Action. 

“The CPP represents a new covenant, Apam Foforo.” 

“We are what we are-Greenstreet Our Festivals, Our Chiefs, Our Communities and CPP can restore Spirit of our nation.” He said.

The CPP flagbearer said he has been fortified by the blessings of the chiefs and the real, rich, lived culture which makes the people united.

He said in spite of the known challenges facing chiefs and traditional leaders, they manage to put on a big show year after year at festivals without obviously breaking the bank and their brochures are well done and informative. 

“We must harvest this spirit for development but let us not forget that the show in itself is important. Nkrumah knew this.” 

“Our communities are alive in these extraordinarily difficult times. “ he added

He said the country needs a new connection of work and happiness. 

“Forward ever! Many countries have little or no resources but they are rich and well because of their people.” According to him, “these are difficult times but let us rest on the good nature of the Ghanaian spirit. Let us work but also be happy.” he said.

According to Mr. Greenstreet, happiness is better than sheer asphalt of road or concrete. 

“We need a new connection of work and happiness.” he said.

Mr. Greenstreet said the CPP is poised to reignite Ghana and make the country work again. 

“The CPP believes in, and would further engineer, the ingenuity of the good people of Ghana. The ethos of a people is a most important factor of production.” he added.
