NDC’s Vice Presidential Candidate, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has cautioned trainee nurses and midwives against succumbing to what she describes as temporary government inducements.
Speaking to trainee nurses in the Ellembele Constituency as part of phase two of her tour of the Western Region, she encouraged them to prioritize long-term plans for a brighter future over short-term promises designed to gather votes.
During her address, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang highlighted the previous NDC government’s commitment to healthcare and criticized the current government, stating that it has failed Ghanaians in the health sector.
“You know we will not stand here and make false promises. We all know that we have a broken economy, and we all know that things are tough. We all know that for the first time, Ghana is not paying its debt and yet we cannot even meet our domestic needs.
“We are in serious trouble and it is only all of us together, having recognised that we are in difficulty, can work slowly towards the norms that we are used to and make things even better.
“Yet, this is the time for people to bring money around, forgetting that there is an uncompleted male hostel. Why are they not using the money to finish that? Have they forgotten that the lecturers do not have places to stay? Have they forgotten that you need a skills lab?
“So, you are a healthcare provider and you want to progress, and know where your vote should go. Don’t listen to the temporary inducement,” she stated.
