Franklin Cudjoe, President of Policy think tank, Imani Centre for Policy and Education has affiliated President Akuffo Addo’s intervention to pardon the WASSCE candidates who meted out unprinted words to him as an equivalent to the pardoning of some three National Democratic Congress (NDC) communicators( montie 3) who were jailed for contempt in 2016.
According to Franklin Cudjoe, this act is similar to former President Mahama’s intervention to pardon the Montie 3.
In a Facebook post, he wrote,
“I think the President did well by intervening to have the students who gravely insulted and abused his person pardoned to enable them write exams at least. This is what responsible fathers do. It is no different from JM’s decision to show clemency to the vagabond Muntie 3 after thousands signed a petition for that outcome”
