Fear not, I am your salvation – Nana Kwame Bediako

Ghanaian businessman Nana Kwame Bediako alias Cheddar after announcing himself as the man behind the mask said he comes as the “salvation” of the people. Speaking at a press conference following the cancellation of the pan-African event dubbed ‘The Convention’ in Accra, Freedom Jacob Caesar as he is known said he is not to be feared.

In revealing himself as the man behind the New Force mask, he said, “I know you are looking for the man. The man in the mask is sitting in front of you. I am nothing to be scared of. I came to you as your salvation.”

“We need to educate. We need to uplift our children. We need to voice out to them. You are about to find out about this man in the mask because I never spoke a word, you were looking for me. I didn’t tell you whether I am into politics, whether I am an evangelist, whether I am a conventionist or a revolutionist. After this day, you will have to wait for me to share my policies and my visions with you.

“And if I’m the reason why the country or the government is not happy about these great voices coming to educate not only Ghana, but also Africa, then I take this moment to sacrifice myself, to unveil myself, because I have much respect for these great leaders beside me. I would have taken my own time to tell you that I am. But for this very moment, I am sacrificing myself to let you know that I’m that man.

Nana Kwame Bediako speaks about his vision

Speaking of his vision, he said Africa is the next great thing and he has a plan for Ghana and Africa. According to him, all other continents have advanced but Africa is still underdeveloped. That he said is his mission and he has been sent to fulfil that dream of Africans.

“But I’m that man with a good purpose, with a great vision. I have a plan, and I have a vision for this nation. And not only this nation, I have it for Africa too. But I know Africa is the next biggest thing because out of all the continents that have been developed in this world, there is only one continent that is not developed and I am sent to do that.”

Though, the emergence of the New Force sent fear down the spines of the political class as they feared the much-needed third force had arrived. But Nana Kwame Bediako said he is not interested in positions. He stated that his interest is for the country and the people, not the “presidential positions”

“I am not interested in people’s positions; I am not interested in presidential positions,” adding, I am interested in the regions, and the humans”. “I am interested in the country, I am interested in the continent, the resources here, to prove to the world that this is what we can make out of our resources and show to the world,” he noted.

According to Freedom Jacob Casear, he is a son of the land and believes he can add value to humanity. His mission, therefore, he said is to add value to the world and he will do that so well that God will be proud of him.

“I am a son of the soil, and I can add value to humanity. I came here to add value to this world and to nature. I am not going to leave here without God even being proud of me,” Nana Kwame Bediako emphasized.
