Mr. Cudjoe who appeared on 3FM Sunrise morning show Monday to discuss issues regarding the deal could not help but to give plaudits to Tilapia for what he described as beautiful art, and asked for his whereabouts to offer him breakfast.
“Where is the cartoonist anyway? I need to give him money for koko (porridge) this morning. That was a beautiful art! I do not know if people realized it,” Franklin Cudjoe said.
From his point of view, Tilapia, who has become a household name for his insightful illustrations of issues from a humorous perspective, aptly captured the row between himself and the minister.
