The Flagbearer of the Convention People’s Party, CPP, Ivor Kobina Greenstreet on Monday took his “electric shock” campaign to Nkawkaw as part of his one-day Campaign tour of the Eastern Region.
Flagbearer asked voters to vote massively for the CPP on December 7, 2020, to give the NDC and NPP an “electric shock”.
He urged residents in Nkawkaw to also vote for the CPP’s Parliamentary candidate Mark Osei Yeboah to fix the challenges of high unemployment, poor roads as well as poor telecom and health services.
“The Convention People’s Party is a party for Kwahu. If you know the history, Mpraeso, Kwahu, Abetifi, and Nkawkaw were all for the Convention People’s Party, only at a point there was a small change. But we are pleading with you to come back to your home. Your home is the Convention People’s Party,” he stated.
The CPP Flagbearer had earlier in the day visited the defunct Ghana Match factory at Akyem Kade as part of his campaign.
The collapsed Kade match factory was built by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah to leverage the timber resources of the area to produce matches.
The factory generated a dividend of one hundred and seventy-three thousand US dollars, 50 cents for the government in the year 1971 to 1973.
The matches were exported to Togo, Niger, Nigeria, Liberia Mauritania, and Dahome present-day Benin.
Export splint from foreign exchange was about twenty-eight thousand US dollars.
Addressing the media, the CPP Flagbearer listed dozens of state factories and enterprises built by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah across the country but now defunct stating that future CPP government will bring back the factories to life.
