Vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has warned nursing and teacher trainees against being swayed by what he describes as the “sweet stories” of the NDC’s flag bearer, John Dramani Mahama.
He pointed out that Mahama had previously eliminated allowances for teachers and nursing trainees while also neglecting to fulfill his commitment to provide feeding grants to them.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh emphasized that such a figure is not trustworthy, urging trainees to be cautious and not to be misled by promises of guaranteed employment following their education.
While addressing students at the Korle Bu Nursing and Midwifery Training College in Accra, he encouraged them to reject the NDC in order to safeguard their allowances.
I want you all to continue to tell NDC that ‘we prefer the allowance more than your sweet stories’. So if you want your allowance to continue, you have only one option, on December 7, you know what to do.
The reason is simple, the one who cancelled the allowance before President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia government appointed Dr Opoku Prempeh as the Minister of Education and restored the allowance, that person is saying that he cancelled the allowance because he wanted to build hospitals.
