The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has accused the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government of using the disputed Agyapadie document as a blueprint for state capture.
The Agyapadie document allegedly outlines an elaborate plan by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to seize state assets. While President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has dismissed the document as a fabrication intended to damage his political career, Mahama insists that the document is genuine and that its strategies are being implemented.
During a durbar with chiefs and queen mothers at the Bawku Naba Palace in the Upper East Region as part of his campaign tour, Mahama emphasized the need for accountability from the current government. He stated, “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.”
Mahama further argued, “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.”
Mahama’s allegations underline his call for greater scrutiny and accountability regarding the current administration’s actions and policies.
