The man known as Cheddar or Freedom Jacob Caesar, Nana Kwame Bediako, has emerged as the driving force behind the political movement called the New Force.

He had initially intended to make the revelation at the right time but decided to unmask himself prematurely due to the circumstances surrounding the cancellation.
