Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Civil Society Organisation(CSO), Crusaders Against Corruption-Ghana, has emphatically denied joining the Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC). 

The ARC is a merger between Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng's Movement of Change, Dr Foster Abu Sakara's  National Interest Movement, Akwasi Odike Adai's Union Government Movement, Bishop Samuel Noi Mensah heading the Ghana First Coalition, Rev. Stephen Ayensu leading the Ghana Green Party, Augustina Cudjoe, leading Third Force Movement,  and Mr Henry Asante, former Second Vice Chairman of the People’s National Convention.

The unveiling of the ARC members took place at an event hosted at the University of Professional Studies in Accra (UPSA) on Wednesday, 17April, 2024. 

Earlier, reports had gone rife that the Crusaders against corruption Ghana led by Chief Crusader, Emmanuel Wilson Junior had joined the merger. However, both the Crusaders Against Corruption-Ghana and Emmanuel Wilson Junior have issued a disclaimer against the reports. 

In a statement copied to Class News, the group clarified that it “honoured an invitation for a launch of an alliance dated 17.04.2024. As courtesy demanded, during the delivery of solidarity messages, we made a very important proposal, being the need for Ghana to set up a CORRUPTION AUDIT AUTHORITY, and further indicated that we will be willing to work with any individual, organisation, movement, political party etc., that commits to our principles and approach in fighting corruption in Ghana. That notwithstanding, we are yet to have such engagement with any political party, presidential candidate or movement”. 

“We are assuring the general public that as and when such is done, we shall communicate same to the general public and particularly our members across the country. Importantly, let it be noted that CAC-Gh. works with structures and a decision of such, would need the full approval of the Board Members as led by our Chairperson Bishop Dr Suzanne Nti”, the statement added. 

Similarly, the Chief Crusader of the Crusaders Against Corruption, Emmanuel Wilson in a statement dated Friday 19th April 2024 has denied the reports tying him to the Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC). 

“I want to put on record that the communication by Mr. Boaben Asamoah is misleading and not factually true. Neither myself nor my organisation is part of any alliance. I strongly disassociate myself and Crusaders Against Corruption Ghana from it, and would want the public to disregard any publication of such”, he clarified.
