Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak, has asserted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will persist in addressing the contentious “Agyapadie” document despite efforts to stifle discussion.
In a statement shared with Metro TV, Dr. Apaak alleged that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has tried to suppress discourse on the document due to its negative impact on their campaign.
He further claimed that the NPP intends to falsely accuse NDC members of creating and distributing the document and plans to seek a court injunction to prevent its circulation and media coverage.
“No one can use state institutions, police, or courts to gag us from discussing the Agyapadie document and its contents. We’ll continue exposing the evidence confirming its implementation,” Dr. Clement Apaak vowed.
The Builsa South MP emphasized that the document’s authors are not NDC members or functionaries, adding, “We won’t be intimidated or gagged.”
About the Agyapadie document
The Agyapadie book has stirred controversy and debate across Ghana due to its contentious claims.
The document is purported to detail a plan for the Akyem people to exert control over Ghana’s economy, politics, and societal institutions, suggesting they aim to dominate crucial sectors such as finance, commerce, and industry.
Its origins remain ambiguous, with speculation that it was produced by unknown entities or individuals.
In response to the book’s circulation, the Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin, has strongly refuted its validity, dismissing it as a falsehood and part of an ongoing campaign of animosity against the Ofori Panin family and the Okyeman.
