Former President John Mahama has declared his support for the demonstration against the military cooperation agreement between Ghana and US.

He declared his support on Twitter Wednesday in a tweet.

“I join in declaring #GhanaFirst as my compatriots and other democratic forces converge to demonstrate their opposition to demonstrate their opposition to the Ghana/US military agreement,” the post said.

A similar agreement was, however, signed under the tenure of John Mahama in 2015. 

Wednesday morning's demonstration begun at the Obra spot in Accra is led by a coalition of political parties known as Ghana First Patriotic Front.

Scores of opposition supporters including ranking member on Foreign Affairs Committee, Okudzeto Ablakwa and former CEO of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS); Sylvester Mensah have joined the demonstration.

The embattled agreement was passed by Parliament last Friday after Minority members walked out to demonstrate their disapproval to what they believe is selling of the sovereign status of Ghana.
