Kwasia, is major general Kwame Opoku Adusei an ewe? Aboa why is it that these trokosis are so blinded with tribalism that it is hurting their own existance in Ghana, what good did Rawlings did to Dr.Limman for John Mahama to trust ewes.I bet that John Dramani Mahama feels more comfortable with Ashantis more than ewes he knows who Ashantis are and what they stand for.How come the former foreign minister refused to be a deputy to Doe Adjaho, you people should think of yourselves and stop that nonsense.why didn't he pick an ewe to be his vice? He will never make that mistake and no other tribe in Ghana will ever do that.Compare how many Muslims in Ashanti region and that of volta region and see who they feel comfortable with.Divisive people Ghana will far be better off without you.

I do vividly remember in 1979 when Rawlings was asked to pledge his loyalty to Prez Limann and the whole country was up in arms saying that was wrong.

The President is the Head of state and represent the state. By pledging their loyalty to him they are simply affirming their loyalty to the state.

THE PRESIDENT IS THE SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE ARMED FORCES, IN THE ARMED FORCES EVERY SUBORDINATE BY STRUCTURE MUST BE LOYAL TO ANY SUPERIOR SET OVER HIM IN THE PERFORMANCES OF HIS ROLES. BASED ON THIS TRADITION THAT'S WHY THERE IS PERIODIC CEREMONY PARADES WITHIN UNITS , SHIPS AND STATIONS FOR COMMANDER OF LOWER LEVEL UNITS TO ASSESS THE LEVEL OF LOYALTY OF PERSONNEL WITHIN UNITS.

Force him to use an ADC from the military as the other presidents do. Tell him the tradition. Let him know the essence of using a colonel always from the military. Lets Call a spade a spade.

The service chiefs' loyalty should be pledged to the state of Ghana, not to the president. Presidents come and presidents go but mother Ghana is ever permanent and all-embracing as well as non partisan, unlike the president.

So it is right for the Service Chiefs to plead allegiance to him. What more the president represents the people being dually elected by them.
