You may under no circumstances pretend to speak for all Ewes.I do not vote for one party because I think it is an Ewe party.I vote for substance.I voted for Akuffo Addo in the last election because I compared what he said to that of Mahama and came to the INDIVIDUAL conclusion that he had better vision and ideas for Ghana and I think Manama's performance this far has proven me right.NOT EVERYTHING HAS BE BASED ON TRIBAL AFFILIATION.

The volta Region Young Turks Federation have now come out with their disgust of how the National cake has been shared which they thought will be done on how the ballot was cast,viz,when a certain tribe votes overwhelmingly for a particular party,the people in this region or district are likely to take the lion share of the national cake, but had now realised that this is not the case in our contemporary politics.They must be told that some people who join political parties for glutinous reasons are now over and they must learn to vote looking at the party with dynamic proposals to help the nation to move forward,creating of jobs for the youth, having educational programmes and agricultural plans etc for the nations citizenry.The enlightened amongst them should begin to re educate the people,the voltarians to vote conscienciously not by coersion.

The directive Principles of State Government did not give the president the power to concentrate his appointemnts in one region simply on grounds of competence. How did it happen that all competent people fit for appointment should be found in only one region? This was the excuse Kuffour gave and refused the people of Upper West region a cabinet position in 2001. Appointments must reflect regional balance and equity. A diligent check reveals that all regions have a fair number of qualified people to occupy any positions. However, the winning party has the right to give its supporters and world bank more appointemnts than other areas. In this direction, Kuffour was right to have more appointments from Ashanti, E/R, and BA. So the Volta region are right to ask for their share of positions. One cannot toil for others to enjoy. Bature should not lead Mahama astray. NDC is Volta and Volta is NDC. The rest are just flirting along, and being fair weather regions.

OH! OSAGYEFO!!!! PLEASE REST IN PEACE!
I know how your soul is crying for your beloved country. The country you helped shape, bar of racial and tribal bigotry.

You encouraged us to school/live together in boarding schools to educate ourselves and minds how to tolerate each others diverse rich cultures and traditions - which grooms/breeds respect for all citizens in Ghana, for a healthy growth of OUR SOCIETY.....................

You even demonstrated that clearly in your cabinet..........and here we are, decades after you were overthrown by GREEDY souls.....the tribalism within the NDC and NPP parties and that being promoted by these two USELESS parties is beyond HUMAN comprehension!!!

These lot have reduced our country to this!!!!!! Osagyefo! We now have Volta, Ashanti, Akyem, Northern and Fanti groups???????? We have all ingredients of such 'filth' in our society today, ready for a recipe for disaster!

Unfortunately, all this rubbish is being orchestrated by so-called educated idiots (I refer to them as educated illiterates) form both ends of the spectrum - the NPP and the NDC parties............

Osagyefo! The party of traitors (present day NPP), overthrew you from office for this filth? And those shepherds in wolves clothing (NDC), are still wallowing in such filth? GOD PLEASE HELP US AND SAVE US FROM THESE TWO USELESS PARTIES!

The filth of CORRUPTION, NEPOTISM and CRONYISM is unbearable in this 21st century Ghana! We were meant to have added to your good works but,.......
these lot have reduced us to tribal politics of hatred and FILTH!!!!!!!!

The Chief Of Staff is just not up to the job. It has nothing to do with his tribe.

It is in the interest of the President, the NDC and the people of the Volta Region that we have a competent Chief of Staff. This one does not seem to know his job and it shows.

He has refused to reply to a letter from a Senior NDC MP, Tony Aidoo which has governance and constitutional implications.

He has refused to facilitate the access of another senior NDC MP, Albin Bagbin to see the President.

All these problems we are having with this young female Minister, Hammah, are because he does not know that he has to support her with advice and courses in how to conduct herself and perform her job.

Have the reports about corruption been seen by the President? and so on son

If we are calling for his removal it is because he is not doing his job well.

He should be protecting the President as a man and the Office of the Presidency. He is failing in these tasks hence the bad press for the President

It is a normal practice all over the world that if someone endorses you to come to power during the campaign you reward the person somehow.This is the practice here in the USA.President Obama appointed people who helped him on the campaign trails into his administration.Of course the person must have the competency.

I find it ironic that Mahama's administration is full of northerners.Mahama can not convince me that all those northerners he appointed into his administration are more qualified and deserved those position
I think its proper for the Voltarians to be asking for their fair share of ministerial positions in Mahamas government.If he fails to listen ,he will only have himself to blame in 2016.
Ewes are very educated and competent people and Mahama can do with a few of them in his administration.He needs to think strategically

Great Volta must stand on their TWO feet and DEMAND their FAIR SHARE from the NDC. We have been too slow in staking our demands!! See how wretched our glorious one time region has become!! It cannot go on like this!!
Great Volta, stand and be counted!! You are the 4th poorest region in terms of infrastructure, following the three northern regions( Northern, Upper west and East). My views about the temper tantruns shown by one Yawose John against the Volta Collectives!!

Shut up if really you are Yawose!! And so what!! I decide to waste my time a bit on the trash you spewed and disgracefully put up as a rejoinder to the Volta Collectives!!!

I don't know the Volta Collectives, neither am I a member but your empty outbusrts need some sensible critique from me!! I nwonder whether you are on mother earth as you assume so much of the scarce wisdom and knowledge that people struggle for on daily basis to be able to make life worth meaningful to its citizens!!

Is it Yawose they call you??? Don't the Volta Collectives have the fundamental Human rights to say out their minds on issues they feel is either not clear or an issue much needs to be desaired of??What is the essence and beauty of Democracy??
Which party do you belong to in the first place??
If you think the Volta collectives don't have the right to air their views on issues they deeply feel is vey incongruent and stinks and are very strong on their points, I wonder why you think you can silence them on this earth, my "brother?"

If you are alone in what you wrote there, how dare you think that you are more intelligent and more forward looking than the group that calls itself the Volta Cololectives!! In the first place because they are many, they were able to bring out, on board more intricate and subtle issues when nothing is done about in the Volta region, some bad fate might pull the NDC government apart in the 2016 elections!! If you are an NPP guy over there, this your "rejoinder" might befit your crooked method of rather pulling asunder the NDC party if they listen to you!!
How can you find quarrels with people's apt judgement!!And you think the Volta Collectives don't have a point?? Even if they haven't mentioned all, or argue all out, can't you see reason that picking on the two personalities from the Volta region waqs too much of a sheer coincidence??
Are you one of the Appointing Agencies to the President, JD Mahama??
How do you know the terms of reference to the Security Carpo and the Al Alhaji Editor if none of you is and are collectively not the appointing agency?? To sit behind the Personal computer ( PC ) and imagine what you write you would write only rubbish, excuse me to say!! Are you Yawose speaking for the people of the Volta region or just to achieve your anti NDC grand design?? How dare you say people got you annoyed with their warped thinking?? Who the heck do you thionk you are?? Are you a paragon of virture and do you think you can hide under whichever cloak and stifle the Volta Collectives!! Where is the warped thinking when they are just advising the NDC that since the inception of the NDC, the Volta Region has never turned away from them and since the genuine economic development go hand -in-hand with politics, Volta has never been taken seriously!! Just imagine the number of Ministers from the Volta region in the NDC, if really the Voltains are the strong base of the NDC!! Was it wrong for Kuffour to have put the largest number of Akans in his government or people from Ashanti, knowing too well that was the base of the looting Brigade, the Narcotic Pedlers Party, alias NPP??
The Collectives know for sure some of these incredible papers such as the Al Alhaji paper that wants to sow a seed of mistrust between the Ewes and His Excellency, President JD Mahama!! If that is what is your cup of tea, then be prepared for more shocks!! Do you Yawose John believe that any NDC government will outwardly play tricks with Volta and yet still win elections in Ghana?? You are aware that Volta does'nt aks for favours as other regions do!! And if you are really yourself and from the Volta, know that, the people in that Great Region are not materialistic nor are they greedy!! But one fact remains stubborn!! They don't steal government funds to help the region!!
They are a bit laid back and are disciplined when it comes to government resources!!! Discount Woyome case as it was not Volta regions chiefs who visited him??
Know for a fact so that, that Menses Akadu or so they call it/her also gets it into her coconut!! some chiefs from the home town of Woyome, and of course, he hails from Volta region, no doubt about that, but are tyou and Akadu sensibly alluding to the figment of your imagination that it was Volta region's chiefs who called on Woyome for being allegedly defrauding the state?? Where and how do you read your papers or news items!!

Yawose John tried to justify how the Ewes were many in the Mahama government without any success!! So after fidgetting for a while decided to bring the Northerners equation alongside the Ewes to make the case of how their over representation in the government will almost always attract serious attacks and criticisms!! Which Ewes are you, Yawose talking about??
How many are they in the firsat place??
Do you have your facts or fiction to bring to bear on the issues you claim you can be the one to write home about!!
What some of you don't know is that the Volta region is inhabited by the Guans, the Akans and the Ewes!! How come most of you who are not custodians of this truth only try to misrepresent the views of the region??

If these two people, the security carpo and Mr. Bani are not performing well, why not tell the President or point it together to Al Alhaji and further move to the President to get them sacked instead of using the crude communist tactics or the local Phd antics!! Why are these people performance is so critical for your grand design to establish a "perfect" democracy in Ghana?? Tell us!! How many of you (you and the Al Alhjaji Paper Editor have been leaders or managers of an organisation of over even 30 people before?? Why blow your own hhorns are if you are impecable! For where will you be??

Why were you dried up with further statements on Dan Abodakpui?? Why was it not wise for you to explain and link it up with materials to make up your vexacious assertions which are intended to achieve nothing but really a sinister move to get any other anti NDC or people who hate the Ewes to whip up their tribal animosities and diatribe and personal aggrandizements!! We all saw those who talked by heart and recklessly against the Ewes and the Gas and their virtuperations on the Northerners have not benefited them, especially the NPP!! The truth is that, the stronghold of the NDC is the Great Volta and as such, it is aklso a fact of our time that trhe NDC cannot do without the votes from the Volta Region!! Therefore the NDC dare not, and will not disregard any sensible directives from the region in temr s of actual developemnt.
Pleaswe go read Dankwah, 2005 in Legon Observer etc to know how the Volta region has been doing!! Is a poor region and infact following th4e northern regions (northern, Upper East and West, so how and why will the Voltains npot ask what at all the NDC has been doing for the regin when the Voltains through thick and thin protect their interest. Yawose, you are not the government of Ghana!! Shut up!! And leave our Volta Collectives to air their grievances!! How will you know if they were speaking on behalf of the silent majority!! Who even defended the NDC more than anyone else during the Election petition??? They were the EWES, man!! Know that still waters run deep!! Don't come our way!! Volta as a collective of tribes and ethnicities in the region need recognition from the NDC government, either in their dreams or wakefulness!! There is no other way for the NDC government to be careful and caring and not being pretentious of the plight of the Volta People. People should think twice when they jum just on only few points to nib in the bud people's views and aspirations!!! The NDC must also note that the schools in the Volta region are all run aground. The only Juapong Textile factory that gives employment to all citizens of Ghana and NOT only to the Voltains is not functioning!!!

Volta has not got any Stadium, there is no Airport, no Medical school, in fact the deplorable situation in the Volta calls for a second SADA (SADA 2) if the NDC is serious about a holistic development in the country!!

Great stuff. We should remember that wining is about numbers. The unflinching loyalty of Volta is commendable and am looking forward to the 3 Northern Regions to increase their share of votes for NDC. However without more than 50% votes from the non ashanti and Akyem Akans victory will be a challenge. Lets agree to hold people accountable and move them if they are not performing. Am in no position to judge Prospers performance but if he is not he should be moved to a place which matches his skills and competencies. Lets think about the party and not just regional interest. Thanks
