    We are all Ghanaians so stop planting division in the minds of Ghanaians. Why did you deliberately leave out the VP from your list?

  • JOYCE 11 years ago

    The vice president is an Akan.

  • JOYCE 11 years ago

    The second in command- the vice president and the third in command the chief justice are both Akan.
    The NDC is no doubt a national party, winning 8 out of 10 regions.

  • ANDANI IBN GAFARU 11 years ago

    If anything at all, Akans have proven to be nation-wreckers and tribalistic since pre independence.

    I completely agrees with you. Why do we still have free education in the north? Our politics is becoming too much of the northerners and voltarians. Meanwhile, they are minority tribes.
