Yes! my brother Dr. Bokor, the president, John Dramani Mahama has certainly outwitted the tribal and greedy bastard Ewes with money and empty promises as usual.

Dr. Michael J.K. Bokor cunningly avoided mentioning a known fact that Ewes vote strictly based on the dictates of their tribal warlords regardless of any national issues. Their leaders have misled them for long, and there are signs suggesting 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 but kick against removal of Kotoka's name from the airport in the nation's capital just because he was an Ewe. Believe me if it were the name of Ankrah or that of 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 against the NLC, Ewes immediately pointed an accusing finger at Afrifa, saying that he had masterminded the killing in order to take the top job away from Kotoka because he was 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 also said that Victor Owusu accused them of being inward looking, and the statement was used to justify many of 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 and plunged the country into the abyss under Acheampong.

It will surprise you to know that planning of the coup started immediately after the government was sworn into office, and that had nothing to do with what it did or did not do in office. The truth is that Ewes planned the coup 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, on the other hand, 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 immediately 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 or say that Rawlings ever won an election in Ghana freely, fairly and democratically. In fact, he used to steal verdicts of Ghanaians to remain in power fraudulently.

You mean the truth about Mahama's incompetence? NDC foot soldiers are amazing people. They will even sacrifice their mothers for the party.

Those insulting me here have already fallen into the very trap that President Mahama has set for them and the weasely NPP politicians.

As you focus on insults, you miss the real issues that will feature in the electoral decisions of the people. The Sunyani chief has already bared it for those anti-Mahama people to see; but because they are blinded by their own self-righteousness, they can't see it.

As for me, I am just doing a yeoman's job, saying it as it should be said.

In any case, those insulting me should have known by now that I have a tough skin and can't be demoralized or deflected from what I have chosen to do. I have a lot more to bring out to buttress my stance that the NPP and its armada of bad-mouthers won't gain anybody's trust or confidence to win Election 2016. Some of us are insulated!!

Don't you realize how shallow extreme partisanship makes you look? Mahama goofed big time and if you follow the airwaves in Ghana, you will know that even his communicators are running away from his utterances. It was childish, petty, unnecessary and above all, befitting of a minister much less a president. Kufuor would never do that. Have you realized that even Bawumia and the Nana Addo have chosen not to respond? Because they are smarter and serious people.

Mahama behaved like a clown. As for insults and invectives, he is not the only politician to suffer that. Kufuor suffered worst from the NDC. I won't even mention Nana Addo because he is not president. And please tell me, when did the word incompetent become synonymous with insult? It's like you people from from the NDC stock want to set the questions and at the same time mark the scripts.

Let us be honest with ourselves and stop defending the indefensible!

Spare us the hypocrisy! Mahama behaved like a pig and that is why he is receiving the backlash.

Its amazing how Ghanaians just cant seem to learn. If people in this country will just put their tribes aside n focus on ghana, am sure this country will see better days. Lets be honest n tell the truth, the economy is bad, mahama has been at the highest office of the land for 7 years, lets not forget 4 years as vice to a sick Atta Mills, are u saying at that tym he coudnt solve real issues? Words are cheap n mahama is good at throwing them around. Lets just wait for 2016 n allow ghanaians to have the last say, no one knows tomorrow so NDC dont be too quick to jubilate only God has the last laugh.

You NPP apologists insulting Dr Bokor have just proven his point. Instead of u guys stating what it is that ur candidate would do better than de prez, u r spending so much time n energy to rain insults on him. This is exactly de style Nana n de NPP engaged in since 2008 and u r still in opposition. NPP has a candidate who cannot get hold of a small party of less than 5 million people, how is he going to manage a nation of almost 30 million Ghanaians. Kudos Mr Prez.
