Franklin Cudjoe Reacts After Vim Lady Says 23 Years of Experience Prove Ato Forson Cannot Lead DMB

Franklin Cudjoe, President of IMANI Africa, has responded to broadcaster Afia Pokuaa, popularly known as Vim Lady, following her claim that Cassiel Ato Forson cannot lead Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Afia Pokuaa made the assertion in a video that has attracted significant attention on social media. Drawing on her 23 years in journalism, she maintained that Ato Forson was not capable of leading Bawumia. The comments were circulated through the Kojo Anane Sonkondo (K.A.S) platform.

Reacting on Facebook, Cudjoe used the sinking of the Titanic as an example to make his point. He noted that despite the confidence of those who built the ship, it eventually sank after colliding with an iceberg.

He suggested through the analogy that people may continue projecting confidence even when events indicate that the situation is different from what they claim.

Cudjoe also drew inspiration from the animated movie Madagascar, recalling the scene in which Skipper tells Private the Penguin to “Just smile and wave” after being asked whether they should tell others that their boat has run out of fuel.

Through these examples, Cudjoe appeared to question the reliability of overly confident public assurances, although he did not directly dispute Afia Pokuaa’s argument about Ato Forson and Bawumia.

His reaction has added to the ongoing social media debate, with users divided over the broadcaster’s comments and Cudjoe’s response. At the time of the report, neither Ato Forson nor Bawumia had publicly addressed the issue.
