Founding President of IMANI Africa Mr Franklin Cudjoe has dismissed assertions on social media that his organization received funding from Lesbian, Gay, Bisexuals, Transgender, and Queer Individuals (LGBTQI) groups. He stated that IMANI has not received any support from these groups. However, Mr Cudjoe stated that if such groups decide to give unconditional funds to IMANI for its mission of holding public officers accountable, the think tank will not hesitate in accepting the money. On IMANI’s position on LGBTQI issues, he stated that they hold conservative, Christian, almost Catholic thoughts on such issues, but at the same time recognize its limitations to recommend how other humans should live their lives. “I now understand why some are asking for IMANI’s stance on LGBTQI issues. I have read a bit now. Let me state emphatically, that IMANI has never received any support from any LGBTQI groups. If they give us money unconditionally, we will receive and use it to pursue our mission of holding public officers accountable,” he said in a statement on Sunday, February 21. He added “IMANI holds conservative, Christian, almost Catholic thoughts on such issues, but at the same time recognize our limitations to recommend how other humans should live their lives. “So keep praying for all sinners including yourselves so that on resurrection day, we shall be among the 144,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses believe shall see the glory of Jehovah. Save yourselves from damnation.” MyNews Gh Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications. Contact: 0555568093.
Don’t worry EC won’t rig 2020 elections, it is just incompetent – Franklin Cudjoe
President of think tank, IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has said that claims that the Electoral Commission of Ghana intends to rig the impending election for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) are untrue. According to Mr Cudjoe, the Commission is just frighteningly incompetent and good at being evasive. “I also do not believe the Electoral Commissioners are scheming with the government. They are just frighteningly incompetent and good at being evasive,” he said in a post on Facebook. His comments come at a time that the opposition has said there is a clear indication that the government and the EC are in bed and the Commission will rig the election in favour of the governing NPP. The leader of the NDC John Dramani Mahama has consistently criticised the leadership of the Commission and have said that the Commission does not give him an assurance of handling a credible election in 2020. Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission at training for media personalities has said that it cannot rig the 2020 election and has assured the general public that it will not tamper with the outcome of the election.
