Member of the NDC Communication team, Sam George has responded to the comments by the General Secretary of the Convention People's Party (CPP) Ivor Greenstreet during the ongoing NDC National Executive Congress. As it has become the custom of political parties to invite leaders from the opposition parties to give their solidarity messages, Mr. Greenstreet shocked the NDC delegates when he charted a new course in his address to the governing party. Solidarity messages are usually expressed as a union of interests, purposes or sympathies among a group. But the CPP Chief Scribe took a swipe at the NDC for apparently disappointing Ghanaians over the years. �..nobody is feeling your better Ghana...Ghanaians are not happy at all...continuous dumsor, dumsor (light outs), corruption from top to bottom, left, right, inside out, and all the challenges you are facing, but it is suffocating the Ghanaian people...this bronya is dry..the most painful thing of all is that you don�t care�yooo NDC, continue we are watching you!! Do what you want to do; we will also know what to do. Boys Abr3, Boys Abr3,� he intimated. In a quick riposte to Ivor Greenstreet, Sam George appealed to Ghanaians to give him (Greenstreet) some "elevation" in order to see the Better Ghana Agenda by the NDC. "Ivor Greenstreet apparently needs some elevation to see the Better Ghana," Sam George stated emphatically on his facebook wall hours after Mr. Greenstreet delivered his solidarity messages. But Sam George's comment seems to have aroused several Ghanaians who deemed it as an offence against the sensibilities of physically challenged citizens of the country. "'May God forgive you'...'Is he aware that a recent case by EU has declared people obesed like him disabled?'...'It's an indirect insult to disability'," these were some responses from some incensed Ghanaians on the platform.
