Dr. Michael J.K. Bokor cunningly avoided mentioning the known fact that Ewes have been the ethnic group in Ghana that mostly votes according to the dictates of their tribal warlords regardless of any national issues. Their leaders have misled them for long, but there are signs that they would vote against tribalism and NDC in the next general election because the common people have seen the light.
Ewes have always condemned the overthrow of Ghana's first communist dictator, and yet kick against removal of Kotoka's name from the airport in the nation's capital because he was an Ewe. On the other hand, if it were the name of Ankra or Afrifa, charlatans like Michael Bokor would have been writing tones of tribalistic articles to support removal of the name from that airport. Again, when Yeboah killed Kotota in the failed counter coup, Ewes immediately pointed an accusing finger at Afrifa, saying that he had masterminded the killing in order to take the top job from Kotoka because he was an Ewe.
As a result of these conspiracy theories cemented by tribal bigotry, the Progress Party won overwhelmingly in all the regions of Ghana in 1969 except the Volta region. They later tried to justify their action by saying that Victor Owusu had accused them of being inward looking. For them, that statement justified all their actions including removal of the newly elected government. Although the region benefited tremendously from the PP government in terms of development projects within that short period, they still went ahead and overthrew it unjustifiably and plunged the country into the abyss.
It will surprise you to know that the coup planning started immediately after the PP government was sworn into office and that had nothing to do with what it did or did not do in office. Ewes planned it and lured Acheampong into it by offering him the leadership position. Busia's government made Acheampong the Army Commander and he was now being asked to betray the trust, so the reward must be big enough. The coup plotters also realized that he was the only obstacle in their way and they willingly made him the leader in order to reach their goal. Unfortunately, this scenario was repeated in 1981 when Rawlings deceived Akatapore and others to betray Dr. Liman paving the way for his second coup.
Those who planned and executed the 1972 coup were all Ewes, and they were Major Agbo, Major Baah, Major Solomey, and the rest of the Ewe Majors that constituted the so-called National Redemption Council after the coup. Also, when Rawlings used the tribal card to occupy Ghana in the 80s and 90's, the country was virtually an Ewe Kingdom, and it will be naive and even dishonest for a so-called intellectual like Michael Bokor to believe that Rawlings ever won an election in Ghana freely, fairly and democratically. In fact, he used to steal the verdicts of Ghanaians to remain in power fraudulently.

False declaration in the name of the Almighty to induce a politically-motivated propaganda into the minds of people has severe reward on the judgement day. This is just a brotherly caution. Avoid using the name of the Almighty untruthfully so as to avert His wrath on you.

I hope Kennedy Adjepong, the MP will read this. He talks as if he provide food for every NPP member and pay school fees for their kids. Someone like the MP is a liability for the party period.

If Nana Addo and NPP are really serious to win Election 2016, they should come public to disown Adofo Rockson. He is a liability to the party and any side he publicly supports. After all, he has no vote.
