The most villagers of Akan ethnic group in Ghana are Asantes, the most tribalist foohhhhhhhls in Ghana are Asantes. Fante people will not do this foohhhhlish thing. Your queen mother is dead and the sitting president has shown respect to her and you Asante foohhhhhls look at what you foohhhhhhls are doing as they do not have fathers, and mothers or elders in so call the Asante Kingdom who can advise Asante foohhhhhls. No wonder the CIA agent J.B.Danquah and Akyem Mafia Busia come from these foohhhhhhlish Akan ethnic group. These foohhhhhls do not think about their dead queen mother. They think they are the only people going to vote in these election foohhhhhhls.
