Some Executives of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, sent water, snacks and soft drinks to parents and students gathered at the Black Stars Square to sort out their SHS placements.
Deputy Women's Organiser of the party, Abigail Elorm Mensah in an interview on Neat FM, disclosed why they decided to embark on such an action.

Meanwhile, the Education Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh has alleged that some of the hundreds of parents and students gathered at the Black Star Square were bused by former President John Mahama.
According to him, those who fainted were staged to bring shame to the ruling government.
In response, the NDC is demanding a retraction and apology from the Minister.
The move was led by George Opare Addo.
In a Facebook post, George wrote; I was at the Black Star Square earlier today visiting the makeshift Senior High School Placement to see first hand how the exercise was faring.
It was telling, seeing how parents had to leave their important and busy schedules to ensure their wards could access education, and to go through such troubles.. We interacted with some of the participants and assured them of our utmost support.
The Youth and Women Wing of the National Democratic Congress also used the ocassion to refresh parents and their wards who had been left stranded due to the mismanagement and haphazard nature of this year’s school placements.
I represented the Youth Wing while my colleague, Akwambea Elorm Yaa Mensah, Deputy National Women’s Organizer, stood in for the Women’s Wing
Parents and children should not go through such pain and struggle just to access education. Government must sit up, acknowledge it’s shortcomings and work to ensure this issue is resolved. We cannot afford to play ‘small poles’ with the education of our young people.

Now put the two together - what NAPO said and this action by the NDC. Isn't it a sh.ame? I repeat, Ghana has no problem, it only has NDC. NDC is the PROBLEM! If you take out NDC, our problems are solved for good! Their plans backfired!!!
What a shameful so called gesture Politics in everything. This problem started from NDC era so this mischief does not make sense
Why do you want our country to fail, NDC?
There was a big crowd on Monday at the Black star Square, on Tuesday the crowd has vanished. Does that mean the issue that they had were resolved on Monday? Why was there no provision of logistics by the NDC on Tuesday? Staged managed and high level frustration is leading the NDC astray. You rent a crowd to make the school placement unpopular meanwhile the candidates who have been placed are reporting at their various schools. Is this the Elder Ofosu Ampofo style of making the country ungovernable?
I want discerning Ghanaians to analyze this questions if NAPO could be wrong of his statement *How did NDC know the parents were going to the Black star square *Did the parents inform NDC when they were going there Does NDC produces Sachet water branded with John Mahama Name and pictures * Did the parents came to the square individually or in buses * What has school placement got to do with Free SHS . Why is the NDC wants to stoke fire in every public interest . Look at their posture the missing Taadi girls ***barred word*** intentions will never succeed. These are some of the things a whole Elder of Pentecost Church, and Chairman of the NDC, Ofosu Ampofo was caught on tape and
When you struggle outside because ***barred word*** politicains who get into power just to steal our resources . Desperation bring out the ***barred word*** in this our politicains . Another one also reject a committee it's sets up recommendation . When you sit that Ghana can be a very great nation , so so stealing . Ghana manganese company say it gave railways 10 million and the railways says it received 4.5 million ,Banks are supported by Bank of Ghana and directors squander the money . If I was the president I will go the Chinese way be a lot of this criminals will repeat their actions again . Look at former A life owner ,back again in microfinance collapse . If they had been slaughtered like the Chinese way ,he won't had committed this crime . People are now bold to steal especially the rich ***barred word*** who the judges are afraid to jail ,while plantain , chicken , mobile phones are jailed with hard labor .
En kwasiasem
When NAPO said NDC bused the people to the SQUARE, hell broke loose and NDC's small boy Sammy Gyamfi, as usual insulted NAPO because he doesnt respect any elderly person on earth. No wyou see taht you have revealed your secrets? Why did DNC have to go and feed the people?
And can that token pay for their school fees and feeding? Ooh Ndc taking evil advantage of every thing
This is actually ***barred word*** act. Why do the NDC want to take advantage of the school placement system. Cant the NDC think at all.
