Damongo, Savanna Region, May 18, 2019//-The Principal of the Damongo Nursing Training College, Hajia Iddrisu Rabiatu has threatened to block the monthly students’ allowance of students in the school if they fail to lineup on the scorching sun to welcome the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo into Damongo in the Savanna Region of Ghana.

The Principal issued the warning on Friday pending the President’s visit scheduled to begin on Saturday (today).

Many of the student body have expressed ultimate surprise at the pronouncements of the Principal since they were in the school to study and not to be welcoming people to the town.

Commenting on the matter, members of the Tertiary Education Institutions Network of NDC (TEIN) described the principal’s action as unwarranted. This is pure political persecution and must be stopped, they stated.

The President of TEIN-Damongo NTC, Yidana Mohammed Shirazu said that; “ our principal this afternoon call us on an emergency meeting today, Friday ordering all students to dress in their uniforms  tomorrow Saturday ,and line up on the principal street to welcome the president to Damongo”.

“This statement fell heavily on us NDC supporters. This political scoring point of we being forced to line up the street is machination to let it look like all nursing trainee students have thrown their support behind the NPP party”, he said in a statement.

We want to use this opportunity to charge our various communication officers to expose this cheap politics the NPP is doing in this country.

“Finally, we in the TEIN NTC Damongo still stand firm on our core values and nothing tickles us from pursuing our political agenda on campus. This piece is to inform you of the dirty politics being done by the NPP through our Principal in Damongo NTC”, they fumed.

The President is expected in the region for a two day tour. He is expected to cut sod for the construction of a regional coordinating council and also present some eight vehicles to the coordinating council in Damongo.
