The flagbearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Ivor Korbina Greenstreet, has questioned government’s commitment to developing agriculture in Northern Ghana.
Mr. Greenstreet said the sharp decline in irrigation farming in the northern part of the country has led to widespread joblessness among the youth.
Addressing a mini rally in the Damango Township to outdoor the party’s parliamentary candidate for the party, Ivor Greenstreet also criticized President John Mahama’s accounting to the people tour.
“The dams are dry, we see it. Our farming capacities are missing. We are here, we want to work but there are no jobs. So what are they accounting to us?”
The CPP 2016 Presidential Candidate is currently embarking on what the party calls “Apam Foforo” Tour to Northern Ghana.
Led by Party Chairman Prof. Edmund Delle, the delegation is in the Upper West Region after touring the Gonja area.
According to the Party’s Communications Director, Kadir abdul Rauf Issifu, the tour is intended to garner the support opinion leaders for the party’s November 7 agenda.
“We are touching base with opinion leaders [and] people that can support us to prosecute our “apam foforo deal once we win the 2016 elections.”
