The Leader of Economic Fighters League (Fighters) Ernesto Yeboah has suggested to the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to use this evening’s address to withdraw the controversial military pact between Ghana and US.
It further proposed that a Referendum is held for Ghanaians to decide on the deal calling on him to apologise Ghanaians.
In a statement issued by the group, it said, ‘In today’s encounter Ghanaians expect an apology from the President for having been treated with so much disrespect on this issue. In the very least, we expect an announcement of the withdrawal from the agreement or the issue be put to a Referendum for the People to decide. Any other thing would amount to a continuation of the total disregard and disrespect to Ghanaians’.
The US military pact gives the US military unimpeded access to certain installations in Ghana. Their equipment will be tax free.
The President is expected to address the nation on the deal tonight Thursday April 5, 2018 after it was ratified by Parliament on March 24, 2018.
Read details of Economic Fighters League’s (Fighters) statement:
First, they tried so hard to divert attention from the Crime they have committed against Ghanaians. They forged a false conflict between ndc and npp supporters—it did not work. They narrowed on the arrest and release of Koku—it did not work. They made outrageous comments and highlighted them in their press—it did not work. They even renamed the Flagstaff House—it did not work!
As if they have not insulted our intelligence enough they started referring to similar senseless agreements signed by the NDC in the past in the hope to silence the voices of reason in society to give them the license to carry on with the current one. Now they have suddenly realised that all that it is not working! The anger of the people is graduating steadily and the President has to come in.
In today’s encounter Ghanaians expect an apology from the President for having been treated with so much disrespect on this issue. In the very least, we expect an announcement of the withdrawal from the agreement or the issue be put to a Referendum for the People to decide. Any other thing would amount to a continuation of the total disregard and disrespect to Ghanaians.
