Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Vice Presidential Candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged nursing students to support the NPP in the upcoming election, stressing that their votes are essential for maintaining policies like Agenda 111, the party’s nationwide hospital project.
Speaking to students at the Pantang Nursing and Midwifery Training College in Accra, he highlighted the importance of their choice in shaping the future of healthcare infrastructure in Ghana.
Dr. Prempeh also encouraged the students to prevent former President John Dramani Mahama from returning to power, citing what he described as the previous NDC administration’s poor handling of issues related to nursing trainees.
He argued that the NDC’s approach under Mahama created unnecessary obstacles for trainee nurses, particularly through the cancellation of trainee allowances, which he said led to financial hardships for many students.
Highlighting the NPP’s restoration of these allowances as a testament to the party’s commitment to nursing students’ welfare, Dr. Prempeh contrasted the current administration’s policies with those of the NDC.
He asserted that the NPP has consistently prioritized the needs of nursing trainees, aiming to support their education and reduce financial burdens—a commitment he believes is lacking in the opposition’s agenda.
In conclusion, Dr. Prempeh positioned the upcoming election as a critical choice between the NPP’s stability-focused policies and the uncertainty he associates with Mahama’s leadership.
He urged the students to vote for the NPP to ensure the continuity of supportive policies that benefit healthcare students and future professionals across the country.
“Like their colleagues at Korle Bu, they recognise the risk in returning to the leadership of a man who once cancelled their allowances and vowed not to restore them, even if it cost him the presidency."
“The 2024 elections, they believe, are about securing Ghana’s future. That is why they will place their trust in Dr Bawumia, who will, after four years, return to account for his actions and decisions.
"In contrast, they fear a leader who will serve only four years and be free from accountability, could once again cut their allowances and impose harsher policies."
