‘Maame CJ, have you been Jujufied ?’ – Franklin Cudjoe reacts to Chief Justice’s praise for Akufo-Addo

Founding President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has reacted to Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo’s labeling of President Akufo-Addo as the most distinguished legal practitioner in the history of the country.

Speaking at the inauguration of the 2024 Africa Conference of the International Association of Women Judges in Accra, the Chief Justice said President Akufo-Addo’s belief in the rule of law has been evident during his tenure as president.

“His Excellency is a lawyer and champion of justice and his name is definably hatched in the legal history of this country as the most distinguished legal practitioner.

"His belief in the rule of law has been evident during his tenure as president and the judicial service of Ghana has been a beneficiary of the exceptional level of physical and technological infrastructure during this period,” Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo said in her address.

Reacting to the Chief Justice’s praise for President Akufo-Addo, Franklin Cudjoe questioned why she would pass such comments.

The IMANI Africa Founding President in a post on Facebook wondered whether Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo had been compelled to make such comments about the president.

“Maame CJ, nukae djo? Aden? Maaba?? Enchanted? Jujufied? we are now truly fucked,” Franklin Cudjoe said.
