NDC twinkles because everybody is a part of the party. So far as you are a Ghanaian, it doesn't matter wherever you come from in NDC.
There's no way a tribal party will ever win elections in Ghana so, you should be aware of that your dump mentality.
If you think people want a party that comprise of the aforementioned tribes being Ashantis/Akyem only to rule them into prosperity then, you are day dreaming. Be careful you don't wet your bed.
Real people of Ghana prefer to live in poverty with dignity under a nationalistic oriented party than to live in prosperity under humiliation and denigration by some ignorant group of trabalistic people metamorphosing as a political party.
Get that into your head. It will never happen in Ghana.

So in the 21st century, some are still so tribal-minded to see some parties as tribal inclined that they will continue to vote for a visionless, clueless, chop-chop govt to their detriment? How do you define tribl anyway? Was there a project that should have gone on in the Volta Region that Prez Kufuor sent to the Ashanti Region? Was it not under Rawlings and Mahama that the Asantehene Otumfuo Opoku Ware and Otumfuo Osei Tutu respectively rode in the Presidential plane. So how do we define tribalisti here?

That tells you that NDC is a national oriented political party.
You cannot have an acerbic vitriolic effusions on other tribes everyday and want them to embrace your tribalistic agenda.
Telling people PEPENI KWASIA and AYIGWENI ABOA will not motivate them or force them to embrace your tribal party.
So you are on your own except those who careless of your daily invective's and are looking for more humiliation will close their eyes and vote for that tribal party.
Where we come from we prefer DIGNITY to HUMILIATION. We value wealthy or rich people if they acquired their riches in an appropriate manner only!!

The Ewes traditionally disrespect Northerners. They call them Dzigbedzitor. The Ewes call Ashantis Gblutor. Why is that acceptable?. EWe traditionally are envious of Ashantis and hate them. Every tribe has derogatory words against other tribes; thats the world. The Asantes have derogatory words against Northerners. Ewes have derogatory words against Northerners. Northerners also have derogatory words against Southern tribes. Dont blame asantes alone

I would like to think that a national party is one whose policies alleviate the suffereings of Ghanaians irrespective of which tribe or region they come from. Is that what the NDC is doing that makes you think they are nationalistic. Some smart voltarians have seen through the tribal politics the NDC uses to win sympathies from Volta and elsewhere. Let us think Ghana and not NDC. Let us not cut our noses to spite our faces. Tribalism is what will make Volta follow NDC to despair and ridicule. The fly that does not listen to good advise follows the corpse to the grave.

Mr Torgbui, unless you do not care about the facts, Ewes are the only group who use tribalism as a political tool in Ghana; and tribalism was very insignificant until JJ arrived on the political scene. During the SMC era out of the 8 members of the SMC. 3 were Ewes- Harlay, Kotoka and Deku; 2 were Gas Gen. Ankrah and Nunoo; 2 Akans, Afrifa and Okran; and 1 Northern.
Volta region, 1/10 of the nation had 3/8 of the executive and no body ever mentioned tribalism because the other groups/tribes are not suspicious and perfidious like the Ewes. The Ewes are always a problem unless they are ruling and we are happy we saw their rule under JJ, the longest serving and worst ever leader. They led the overthrow of Nkrumah and IK Akyampong. And if you know the facts you can appreciate Solomey and Agbo's roles in the oerthrow of Busia. Stop blaming the Ashantis and start loving Ghana.

You're not serious. If you call the UP/NPP tradition as made up of Asante and Akyem tribesmen what would you call the NDC that has Ewes and Northerners as its majority voters? The NDC was formed by an Ewe and the NDC calls the Volta region its World Bank. How about that?
Many of us still remember the "Nye Bro" days of the PNDC in the 1980s and the NDC from the early 1990s.
What you don't understand is that every party has its strength and weakness in one part of the country or the other so characterizing the NPP as Asante/Akyem party portrays you as a tribal bigot and a non-thinker.
Finally,we haven't forgotten the 2012 presidential election campaign when Mahama solicited votes from his northern kinsmen saying they should vote for him because he's a northerner. It will do you a world of good if you can think before you make sweeping statements. There's no dignity in living in poverty in a country of abundant natural and human resources which has borrowed nearly $30B in the last 6 years and where administration officials live in opulent comfort . I feel so sorry for you.

NDC thrives on tribalism, specifically Anti-Ashanti sentiments. Historically from the Ashanti wars of old, the Krobos, Ewes, Gas. Fantes, Brongs, Northerners feaR ashantis and this has somehow translated into keeping Ashantis from central power at all costs. NDC manage to exploit that to let the other tribes feel that Ashantis look down upon them and that they wont be respected under any party dominated by Ashantis. Kofi awoonor said that in his book that any Asante-dominated party should be kept out of central power. Ewes will never vote NPP or any party seen to be dominated by Ashantis who they see as unfortunately SUPREMACISTS. It is not true but that perception rules. Under normal circumstances Ewes, FAntes, Gas, Brongs, Sefwis, Northerners, Aowin. They fear Ashantis. They despise ashantis. You remember-I FEAR THE ASHANTI PTROJECT Mills?

Everybody want's to be in a party they feel it belongs to them. Not a party that clearly portray other tribes as intruders.
Whenever it comes to leadership positions everybody is shoved aside except if you hail from the obvious tribe wins you a position isn't a real party.

It is true when the elders say that small minds see what they wish to see. Big minds see what they will rather not see. Paul Afoko, Chairman of the NPP, why does he not see things as you, Mr. "Ghana" see it. Why did he feel he could win the NPP chairmanship when some thought only a select tribe could win it? C.K. Tedem is the NPP Chairman Council of Elders. How come small minds are always seen the negatives, the impossibilities, the tribalism but big minds don't?
