The Minority in Parliament has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to reduce his foreign travels, diplomatic relations and concentrate on fighting armed robbery in Ghana than promising to help the United States of America (USA) fight terrorism.
President Akufo-Addo at his meeting with governors in the USA on Sunday pledged Ghana’s commitment to stand shoulder to shoulder with the USA in the fight against terrorism and the promotion of fundamental human rights on the African continent and across the globe.
But in a radio interview with Accra based Class FM on Thursday, the Minority Spokesperson on Communications, A.B.A. Fuseini said President Akufo-Addo’s pledge is laughable and admonished the President to channel his energies towards fighting local crime to make Ghanaians feel safe.
“…even our own domestic armed robberies, the number one thing that Ghanaians are crying about, run away anarchy in the country, lawlessness in Ghana, today Ghanaians cannot sleep, Ghanaians' security has been compromised, people are complaining all over, armed robbers are sacking and killing people all over the place, you [Akufo-Addo] have not finished that one and you are going to help America to fight terrorism,” he told the radio station’s Parliamentary correspondent.
“My brother it is enough to say that everybody can cooperate in the fight against terrorism but don’t go and tell them as if Ghana has the capacity to help them when even on our own shores, our own domestic crime is souring into the high heavens …charity begins at home, you haven’t finished with Peter, you are going to ask Paul to come and join the fight.
“Let us do our own thing first, you must first catch the madman before talking about shaving him."
Alhaji Fuseini who is also MP for Sagnarigu in the Northern region urged President Akufo-Addo to deal with the “souring domestic crime” before “going to give promises to America.”

The NDC is now characterized by envy, hatred, vendetta and pettiness. They hate any progress that govt makes because it threatens their chance of regaining power. They imported terrorists from the US into Ghana. Now they are telling others to mind their own business. Hypocrites and parasites, infused with corruption and wickedness.
These NPP people think Ghanaians love them too much more than the NDC so they can plant their incompetency in handling national affairs on the NDC. Who says the average Ghanaian is ready to keep the NPP in government if this unbridled hardships and high sense of insecurity, armed robberies and senseless killings continue under this NPP government.You will be joking. Wait and see 2020 if things dont get better,you can trust the Ghanaian's sound judgement
Who will leave his house that is on fire and visit a rich friend promising him to deal with similar problems he has failed to handle. Oooooo poor Ghanaians we are doomed
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER? WE HAVE CHALLENGES. AMERICA IS TALL. GHANA IS SHORT. AMERICA IS RICH. GHANA IS POOR. THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE THOUGH. AMERICA HAS THE MONEY. GHANA CAN USE IT. SELLING THE WHOLE COUNTRY FOR PEANUTS. TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. GET THE MONEY. BRING IT HOME. TAKE CARE OF GHANA FIRST. AMERICA IS TAKING CARE OF ITSELF FIRST. UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO YES SIR MASSA TO GET SOME MONEY.
Why are ndc crying on something orchestrated by them,who doesn't know these robberies are the handwork of the ndc only a fo*l will doubt it. Ndc are experts in kriminality but very st*pid in governance, when you hear them crying over something then know they are behind it. Ndc Nii Lante Vanderpuye came out with impunity to announce the intention of John mahama about those ndc th*ves jailed and vowed never to retract or apologize to the good people of Ghana, aah! But how can a bastard with a Liberian father and mother from Ada,I don't even know if big Ada or Ada foa representing some naive Ghanaians respect Ghanaians? This guy's utterance which courted their party disaffection prompted them to stage the Rambo style armed robbery to cause fear and panic but that too has backfired because Ghanaians are discerning and wouldn't allow kriminals to rob them with arms and turn to blame others for insecurity. Ndc Onyame ahu mo oooooo! Animguase3 akwaaba! Ndc and kriminality are bed fellows. SHAME ON YOU NDC ARMED ROBBERS! It will be easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than ndc coming back to power. Apuuuuuuuu! Ndc will rot in opposition. Wicked,callous and evil people.Onyame betua moka
Ndc is still can NOT comprehend that the man they said can NEVER be prez(Akufo-Addo) is excelling in his gov't globally so with jealousy and hatred they will go on their propaganda again. Even your founder Rawlings has asked the Ghana Police rather to wake up not the Ghanaian whole prez you damnn MP Fuseini.
Nana Addo is the president of Ghana, he has men appointed to deal with these menace. What are the police doing?
i agree with ndc on this one. one have our own problems to solve than helping them fight terrorism. after we were not there when they were creating enemies for themselves. and their president even referred to us as sh%thole countries. what can a sh%thole country do for them. Lets deal with our problems.
EEEEEI NANA ADDO THE ARMED ROBBERS ARE KILLING US OOO TON. WHAT WILL YOU USE TO FIGHT TERRORISM AT AMERICA I LAUGH TO MY CORNER . EVEN IGP CAN NOT FIGHT ROBBERS AND YOU WANT TERRORIST TO COME TO GHANA. PLS IS OKAY COME BACK TO YOUR HOME GHANA.
Dzi Wo Fie Asem is NDC's modus operandi. President Mills applied it and sat down in Ghana for France to come all the way to Cote Divoire, our neighbor, to restore peace. Indeed, the Ivorians were fleeing to Ghana in their thousands, and had France not intervened, Ghana would have been in trouble. Yet NDC has not learned from that big gaffe. That is what we call incompetence
