Hajia Safia Mohammed, Deputy National Women’s Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on members of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) of the NPP at Valley View University to uphold the core values and principles of the party.
Hajia Safia Mohammed, who made the call whilst addressing TESCON Members at a general meeting, fresher’s orientation, and handing-over ceremony at Valley View University at Oyibi in the Greater Accra Region, said TESCON was not just an extension of the party but its very own soul.
She emphasised that TESCON, which is the students’ wing of the NPP, served as the breeding ground for bold ideas, patriotic spirit, and future leadership for the NPP.
She commended the Valley View University Chapter for consistently demonstrating commitment to the progress and transformation of the country through its vibrant and visionary student leadership.
She praised the outgoing executives for their dedication, sacrifice and honourable service to the party, saying “You have served with distinction and upheld the values of the elephant family. To the incoming executives, your mandate is sacred. You are not just student leaders; you are the vanguard of a national cause.”
She encouraged the new leadership to serve with integrity, courage, and unwavering convictions, noting that their actions today would shape the future of the country.
Hajia Safia Mohammed touched on the party’s current situation and said “We are at a turning point in the history of our great party. Having exited government, this is not a time for retreat but for renewal. We must rebuild the base, reclaim our message, and reenergize the grassroots.”
She criticized the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing it of using state security agencies to intimidate and harass NPP members, adding “Their only strategy now is fear and intimidation, but we will not be cowed. We will not relent in speaking truth to power and demanding what is right for Ghanaians.”
Hajia Safia Mohammed urged the students to stay strong, vigilant, and committed to holding the government accountable.
She said, “Your energy, voices, social media influence, and community engagement are the tools with which we will fight and win.”
