"However, as time unfolded and our efforts intensified, cracks began to appear in the facade of Chef EBENEZER SMITH's Cook-a-thon. What initially seemed like a genuine effort to showcase Ghanaian talent and cuisine slowly revealed itself to be a mirage—a meticulously scripted performance masking a web of deceit and fraud.
It pains me deeply to admit that the entire endeavor, purportedly aimed at putting Ghana on the world map, was nothing more than a charade. The authenticity we sought to champion was overshadowed by the harsh reality of deception. The promises made to sponsors, the trust of volunteers like myself, and the hopes of an entire nation were callously manipulated for personal gain."

After discovering the truth, Rashid Isah apologised to Ghanaians for any role he may have played in aiding Chef Smith to embark on what he described as a charade.
