Franklin Cudjoe, the President of IMANI Africa, has said he does not hate former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Dame.
The IMANI President rejected claims that his frequent criticism of Godfred Dame is due to his personal hatred.
According to Franklin Cudjoe, he does not harbour any personal dislike for Godfred Dame, although he has been critical of his conduct and decisions while serving as Attorney General.
Franklin Cudjoe argued that he does not hate Godfred Dame but dislikes his preposterous terror tactics in high-profile cases during his tenure, citing the Ato Forson, Dr Stephen Opuni and James Gyakye Quayson cases.
In a post shared on social media on August 1, 2026, Franklin Cudjoe wrote, “Some friends of Godfred Dame, former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, who are my friends as well, reached out to plead that I slow down on Dame lest people think I hate him. I have seen a number of my followers on this platform, mostly NPP members and supporters, write the same under my posts.
Please, I do not hate Dame. I dislike his precociously terror tactics that he deployed and continues to use in many of the cases he led against his political opponents—Ato Forson, Stephen Opuni, Quayson, to name a few. I witnessed how he disrespected Tsatsu Tsikata and the people of SALL in the first SALL case at the Supreme Court.
He cared less about the egregious wrong his government orchestrated against SALL, yet he rushed to have the Supreme Court sit, within hours, on a case involving some NPP MPs who deserted their seats in Parliament, arguing that their constituents cannot be allowed not to have representation in Parliament for just a week!
Yet he and his Machiavellian cohorts did not care about SALL, which his government denied representation in Parliament for four years!
He qualified, in my view, to be the Attorney-General who became a minister of misrule and injustice!
Sorry, guys, I don’t hate him… I just don’t think he is decent and trustworthy. Hope he changes my opinion of him one day”.
Meanwhile, Godfred Yeboah Dame has said there was no notice of an appeal filed by Sedina Tamakloe Attionu in 2024, which came to the attention of the Office of the Attorney-General.
According to Godfred Dame, claims by the governing NDC seeking to blame the Akufo-Addo administration and his tenure for Ms Tamakloe-Attionu’s acquittal were “false and devious.”
In a statement issued on Friday, July 31, Mr Dame maintained, “No notice of an appeal filed by Sedina Attionu in 2024 came to the attention of the Office of the Attorney-General in my tenure”.
