The Minister of Defence Dominic Nitiwul has accused former president John Mahama of occupying a military land.
Mr. Nitiwul has therefore advised Mahama to leave the “disputed” land since it does not augur well for a former Commander-In-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces.
“I want to advice the former president that he should look for a place and leave because it’s a dent on him. It’s not good for him. He was a president and he should leave there. He should have protected the Armed Forces. I’m talking of former President Mahama and I won’t say no more. That can’t happen any longer; not under this watch,” the MP for Bimbilla counselled the former president at a media encounter on Thursday.
He added: “I’m advising him that if I were him I won’t live there.”
According to the Defence Minister, where Mahama is occupying is supposed to serve as a boundary between civilians and the military. He, however, failed to mention the location of the land.
He further stated it is not under his powers to order Mahama out of the land.
Nitiwul also accused other former government appointees of occupying military lands, urging them to leave those lands since they are under dispute.
“The way Armed Forces land were handled I’m not happy about it. We decided to sell some lands including some top politicians. And it’s a shame. It’s not good. Within two years we sold every piece of land over 300 acres of land to individuals,” he added.
He has served notice to all those occupying disputed military lands to vacate by “December 31 and find a new home. We are not in business to demolish new houses. It’s an opportunity to move. We’ll not relent in making sure that people occupying lands illegally move.”

If Ghana has this man as a defence Minister, then we are not safe.
Lies, big lies from the ***barred word*** party, npp, why are npp members all liars.
Better get serious in the fulfilment of your campaign promises. You guys should learn from the lessons Ghanaians thought NDC and stop this diversionary Ekruasi behaviour.
Throw him out then
What is the military using the land for? One of the most ***barred word*** institution to have ever come on the surface of this earth especially in Africa. All our problems started with the military. What contribution do Ghanaians get from the military. Stop making this noise. While the military is playing significant roles in other countries what are they doing in Ghana? We are so much afraid of them that nobody wants to talk about their wastefulness. Apart from peace keeping outside Ghana, tell me one thing the military is doing? Is high time we put them in their place.
Tell this man if it is not in his power he should shut his dirty bick. Why all this hounding of the ex president? Utter gabbage.
Please, Please, Please ..!!! Let everyone move out we don't want to hear all this press conferences anymore first of all let those who decided to lease those lands out tell us why that decision was taken and most importantly whether any of them benefited from that land. Why are u guys so selfish and greedy? moment u come into power u start grabbing all what we have without even thinking of ur own kids.
