General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has claimed that the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, will be inviting terrorists into the country if he agrees to the establishment of an American Military Base in the country.
Cabinet has reportedly approved the granting of unrestricted access to a host of Ghanaian facilities and wide-ranging tax exemptions to the United States Military as part of an agreement between Ghana and American governments.
The agreement will permit the U.S. Military to use Ghana as a base for staging and deploying forces.
The United States Embassy in Ghana however denied the reports claiming that the United States government is investing over $20 million in training and equipment for the Ghanaian armed forces.
Ghana is also once again preparing to train U.S forces – as it did in 2017.
The Embassy in a statement claimed it is only planning joint security exercises with Ghana, which will require that US military personnel are allowed access to Ghana’s military facilities.
Reacting to this, Asiedu Nketiah said government should not allow the US to establish a military base in the country as the security implications would be very dire for the country. “What government is about to do right now is just allowing terrorism in the country because the US is noted for such things and so bringing them into our country means you are only promoting terrorism and risking the lives of Ghanaians?,” he said.
Asiedu Nketiah further called on the Members of Parliament (MPs) to reject the agreement.
“Our MPs should desist from it because it won’t work. They should rise up in arms against the move,” he said on Okay FM.
To him, it will be suicidal for Ghana to sign this agreement as the country stands to lose greatly from the arrangement.

LIKE YOUR PARENTS.WHY ARE STILL LIVING IN THE S.HOLE COUNTRY.
Yaw nsiah asare, your comment exposes you that, that name is not you, you are an idi*t from a us*less price home. Ndc don't read so they just don't understand the American English, their problem us understanding not the agreement! It's either they are fo*ls or planning to distabilize this country or both. Ndc is evil, those beating innocent women to death because of perceived wichcraft must rather beat the hell out of the ndc because they are real demons, who are destroying this country, if ndc weren't in power those guys who think these women were the cause of their destiny would have been living good, ndc are demons and they are the ones who have destroyed your lives not those women.,Ndc are demonic, wizards and witches and at the same time thi*ves. Nothing good come from them. Reject them and reject them again, they have no vision ,no clue only nkwas*asem nkoaa ! Fellow Ghanaians, when have you heard ndc proclaiming their vision and doing it? Somebody remind me. That is the work of wizards and witches, they never provide anything good, but when somebody does good they are the first to destroy. Witches who don't want to be hunted but do not stay away from evil.
Your level of hypocrisy and ignorance is amazing. I can’t even believe there’s a human being on earth who reasons like you do.

If that is your beef , tell your MPs to shoot the agreement down when it gets to parliament.
