The New Force group has said their attention has been drawn to certain images circulated by one Sam Ankrah, an independent presidential candidate, on social media purporting to be the originator of the viral “The Man in the Mask” campaign it has created.
They also said they noticed subsequent media publications commissioned by him projecting himself to be “The Man in the Mask.”
“We wish to state categorically that the said Sam Ankrah has no connection to the creative concept, design, and inventive process that developed the ‘The Man in the Mask’ campaign. We are disappointed that Mr. Sam Ankrah has sought to deliberately exploit the ingenuity of young Ghanaians and coopted their vision and creativity to project dubious political ambitions. We consider his conduct to be reprehensible and evidence of a lack of credibility that undermines him as a person as well as someone capable of leading a new political vision for a country that is in need of a clean break from the kind of dirty politics we witness on a daily basis.
