The much-discussed Agyapadie document is allegedly a roadmap for state capture by the Nana Addo Dankwa Afufo-Addo-led government, according to National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is said to have outlined a complex scheme in the Agyapadie manifesto to appropriate state property.
The leader of the NDC maintains that the document is authentic and that its intentions are presently being implemented, even though President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has dismissed it as a forgery meant to damage his political career.
As part of his campaign tour, Mahama addressed chiefs and queen mothers during a durbar at the Upper East Region’s Bawku Naba Palace. He stressed that the current government needs to be held responsible.
“We need to hold this government accountable for the hardship, the crisis that they subjected Ghana to, for the state capture that they have implemented in Ghana over the last eight years. Buying every state property, buying all the government lands, and amassing wealth for themselves.
“Recently, there was an issue about a document called Agyapadie. They said it was fabricated. But even if it is fabricated, the implementation is not fabricated because everything that is written in that document has been implemented.
“So if really somebody sat and fabricated that document, then the person can really read the minds of people. Because how they could have written that document and read the minds of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his family, that person is a proper creative writer. Because everything in that document has been implemented. And so the implementation cannot be fabricated.”
