Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin has decried the resurgence of a fabricated document titled “Agyapadie,” branding it a malicious attempt to sow discord.
The King of Akyem Abuakwa asserts this baseless document, falsely attributed to his image, aims to stir animosity and undermine the Ofori Panin household and Okyeman.
He called on Ghanaians to reject such divisive tactics and stressed the need for unity against these unfounded attacks.
The Okyenhene made these remarks during a meeting of the Akyem Abuakwa State Council, where he condemned the document as a complete fabrication and part of a long-standing hate campaign against his household and the Akyem people.
He questioned the intentions and sanity of those who created the document and used his image as its cover.
“This document is a complete fabrication,” Okyenhene stated. “It is part of a long-standing hate campaign against the Ofori Panin household and Okyeman. The so-called ‘Agyapadie’ outlines a supposed strategy for Akyem people to dominate Ghana’s economy, but it is nothing but lies.”
He urged his people and Ghanaians to disregard the book, emphasizing that the Ofori Panin Fie has always been prominent and has not done anything extraordinary in recent years to warrant accusations of self-elevation.
He highlighted that the Eastern Region had more representation in former President Kufuor’s cabinet than in Akufo-Addo’s, suggesting the controversy is aimed at stirring up animosity towards the Akyem people.
“We saw this during the period of J.B Danquah and we’re seeing this now,” Okyenhene continued. “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.’”
Okyenhene emphasized that many kingdoms have seen greater development over the years, but some people always have issues whenever the government decides to bring development to Okyeman.
He addressed recent rumors and accusations with a touch of humor.
“I have heard things in recent times. The funniest of it is that I am the richest chief in Ghana. I mean, how? Anyway, when anyone regards you as a rich person, you must receive it. I receive it.”
