The Ashanti Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Wontumi), has accused Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate of NDC’s flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, of authoring the controversial book Agyapadie.
Wontumi didn’t mince words, calling Prof. Opoku-Agyemang a “wicked old woman” for writing a book he claims is targeted against the NPP.
“Naana Opoku-Agyeman wrote the Agyapadie book. Compare her book and what Mahama is saying. This is what they did during Kufuor’s time. How can an old woman be this wicked to write something like this,” he added.
There has been a hullabaloo evolving around the Agyapadie book in both traditional and social media spaces in Ghana.
It first garnered attention during the time of one of Ghana’s statesmen, Joseph Kwame Kyeretwie Boakye Danquah (J.B Danquah).
The document is alleged to outline a comprehensive strategy by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) designed to elevate and sustain the influence of the Akyem people across all sectors of Ghana’s economy.
A section of the populace have claimed that certain ideas and systems implemented by the Akufo-Addo-led government are in line with the book.
However, the NPP has on several occasions refuted these assertions, labeling them as diabolic plans by certain individuals who are against the Akyem people.
Speaking at the Akyem Abuakwa State Council meeting, Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin stated that the Ofori Panin Fie was more prominent before Akufo-Addo’s tenure and has not accomplished anything exceptional in the past 25 years to set themselves above others.
“We saw this during the period of J.B Danquah and we’re seeing this now. In and around October 2016, about a few months before the election, the same document known as the ‘Akyem Project’ was in circulation. The focus of that was to fan hatred between Okyeman and Asanteman to undermine the electoral efforts of Nana Akufo-Addo. Unfortunately for them, it came too late to the election.”
“This diabolic plan was revised in 2019. In the year 2020 when the Agyapa business became a political issue, the book suddenly metamorphosed into ‘Agyapadie’”.
