“Indeed, the Foreign Minister indicated that this was done at the express authorisation of the government of President Mahama. This was said on foreign soil, before a foreign international institute, Chatham House,” he said while demanding that the foreign minister appear before Parliament to answer questions on Mahama. Also, the Foreign Affairs Minister never said that President Mahama approved the use of Ghana as a base for the strike, as Jinapor has been accused of saying. Verdict:Jinapor’s claim that Ablakwa said that the US used Ghana as a base for its strike in Nigeria is completely false. Also, his claim that the Foreign Affairs Minister said that President Mahama approved the use of Ghana as a base is also completely false.
