The leader of the New Force political movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, has given explanations for his choice of a spokesperson for his group.<\/p>\n
He explained that he opted for a Belgian, Ms. Shalimar Abbuisi, as the group\u2019s spokesperson after several Ghanaians turned down the offer.<\/p>\n
Cheddar stated that many Ghanaians rejected the appointment for fear of their lives, adding that they were afraid of showing their faces and preferred to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the beginning of the New Force with the mask and everything, we have been speaking to people, so many people to join us. But today, I want to tell the nation that we tried so many people to be the spokesperson, but they were all scared and didn\u2019t want to use their faces,\u201d Cheddar said in a TV3 interview in January 2024.<\/p>\n
Nana Kwame Bediako criticized the Ghana Immigration Service for failing to provide the alleged forged documents of Shalimar Abbiusi.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ghana Immigration Service could not provide the forged documents of Shalimar Abbiusi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He stated that his ambition to run for the presidency was a divine calling.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy ambition to run for the presidency started with a dream. The dream led to the creation of a political party,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n
Background<\/strong><\/p>\nShalimar Abbiusi was on December 20, 2023, deported to her native Belgium in a move sparking accusations of unfair treatment and human rights violations.<\/p>\n
She was deported after the state, on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, dropped the charge of obtaining a student permit with false declaration and subsequently rearrested her.<\/p>\n
Her lawyers had accused the Ghana Immigration Service of seeking to deport her as a reason for the withdrawal of the charge.<\/p>\n
Cheddar on January 8, 2024, revealed himself as the driving force behind the emerging political movement called New Force.<\/p>\n
Nana Kwame Bediako had sought to unveil himself at the lecture to disclose his identity and elaborate on his policies.<\/p>\n
Originally intending to unveil himself during the event, he chose to unmask prematurely due to the last-minute denial of access to the Black Star Square, which led to the event\u2019s cancellation.<\/p>\n
