Daughter of Ghana’s first president Samia Yaba Nkrumah has admonished Members of Parliament not to accept the approval by the president Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo and his Cabinet to allow the United States of America establish a military base in Ghana.

In a Facebook post, Samia Nkrumah quoted his late father Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s saying that African Countries must unite and combine forces to ensure maximum security.

MPs MUST SAY NO TO U.S. MILITARY BASE IN GHANA!

Kwame Nkrumah tells us in Africa Must Unite (1963) that

“if we do not unite and combine our military resources for common defense, our individual [African] States, out of a sense of insecurity, may be drawn into making defense pacts with foreign powers which may endanger the security of us all”.
