I have been seeing this video for days and tried to not comment on it but my guy here has a following and was on Richie’s podcast as well. First of all, none of what he said is true and it is verifiable By the context he presented it, it is fair to say the NLM was not necessarily ‘Asantes’ even though the party was set up by Baffour Osei Akoto who was the Asantehene’s Okyeame and some Asante chiefs and prominent men. The NLM (or Asantes) were asking for federal system because they felt a central government could mess up the riches/resources in their territory. You have to remember they were the leading producers of cocoa in the Gold Coast at the time…together with the Eastern territory. They also feared a central government could become authoritarian and take ‘rogue’ decisions (which eventually happened). The northern (region) supported this also for their own reasons and there prominent people from other tribes that supported it too… It had nothing to do with regions. How would not getting a region (that was essentially existent by then) be a problem for independence anyway?…Makes no sense, no correlation whatsoever
