Nalerigu Nursing Trainees Were Forced To Apologize To Mahama - Nana B
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has disclosed that students of Nalerigu Nursing College were forced to apologize to the former President John Dramani Mahama.
According to them, it was a deliberate ploy by the team of the former President to make the NPP government look unpopular.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' program, National Youth Organizer for the party, Henry Nana Boakye explained and accused Member of Parliament of Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini as the brain behind the action that took place at the Nalerigu Nursing Training College.
"Considering what the New Patriotic Party has done for Nurses in this country, there is no way nurses will rise up against a government that has made life comfortable for them whilst they are in school," he stated.
He added that the NPP government will continue to support Nurses in the country and that there’s no way government will relent in its support to the various trainee institutions in the country.
"The former President should understand that the 2020 electioneering campaign is about policies so he should campaign on policies . . . ," he added.
Former President John Mahama had gone on a tour of Nalerigu in the North East Region where he met trainee nurses from the Nursing and Midwifery Training School.
The students were seen in pictures posted by John Mahama on his Facebook page, hoisting placards; most of them read, “JM, we are sorry. Nurses need you back.”
Trainee Nurses across the country threatened to vote against the then President John Mahama before the 2016 general elections when his administration withdrew their allowances.
The administration justified the decision then that it would help improve infrastructure and also increase enrollment.
However, the then opposition leader, Nana Akufo-Addo promised to restore the allowances when voted into office.
