  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 and 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 Ankara 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 the overthrow 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 plunging the country into the abyss.
  
  It will be surprising 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 ultimate 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 elections freely, fairly and democratically in Ghana. In fact, he used to steal the verdict of Ghanaians to remain in power fraudulently.
