The Communication Directorate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East Region has described the demand for justice for the 8 dismissed Chiana students by the NDC Youth Wing as a malicious attempt by the NDC and its cohort to make President Akufo-Addo look bad in the eye of Ghanaians.
The statement says “Any political player worth their sort in Ghana that appreciates the modus operandi of state Institutions or willing to learn same would have known that the President had no prior knowledge of the decision of the GES”.

The statement signed by the Regional Communication Director of NPP Peter Ayinbisa further says, “In spite of this, when the attention of the President was drawn to the dismissal of the students, he immediately intervened rendering the dismissal null momentarily”.
RE-NDC YOUTH WING DEMAND JUSTICE FOR THE CHIANA 8
The Upper East Regional Communication Directorate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has sighted with disbelief a press statement from the NDC youth wing calling for the reversal of the dismissal of the Chiana 8.
While it is factual that the decision to dismiss the recalcitrant students was in conformity with the code of conduct of the GES, it is an act of ill-will, preposterous and cheap politicking from the NDC to seek to defend the indefensible.
The malicious attempt of the NDC and its cohort to drag the President into issues of this nature is unfortunate, unfair and unreasonable. Any political player worth their sort in Ghana that appreciates the modus operandi of state Institutions or willing to learn same would have known that the President had no prior knowledge of the decision of the GES.
The GES like all other state institutions did what was deemed right in accordance with its institutional regulations to tame and dissuade the unbecoming behaviour of the Chiana 8 and their ilk.
It is trite knowledge that insults, satire, invectives that offend the dignity of a public official are punishable by law.
In spite of this, when the attention of the President was drawn to the dismissal of the students, he immediately intervened rendering the dismissal null momentarily.
The swiftness and compassion of the President in this matter should be the focus of our political discourse while without reservations condemning the unscrupulous behaviour of the affected students by all.
The disposition of the NDC in this case is not only shameful and a ‘low-blow’ to our democratic credentials, but a seeming attempt to ‘weaponize’ the youth of Ghana against this government. Indeed, the NDC is depleted physically, depressed mentally, despairing spiritually-their ability to stand the record of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo is all gone; the only thing left is to support conducts that our constitution and customs abhors without shame.
We in the Upper East Region commends the President for his gracious magnanimity while calling on our daughters and sisters at the center of the case to go and sin no more. Beyond the rules and regulations that guides our conducts in public and private institutions, we are Ghanaians and such misconduct stinks in our culture.
Let’s together help build a better future for the youth.
Signed
Hon. Peter Ayinbisa Ayamga
Director of Communications (U/E/R).
