You need your head examined – Gabby slams critics of ‘fictitious’ Agyapadie document
A prominent figure within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has expressed strong disbelief in the credibility of the Agyapadie Book, suggesting that anyone who takes it seriously needs to reconsider their stance.
In a post on X, he indicated that it is ridiculous that a family would document supposed malicious plans against their own country in a book, complete with a portrait of the family head on the cover.
“If you believe a family will document its alleged evil plans against the very village they live proudly in, document it in revised copies of a book with a portrait of the head of family boldly on its front cover, then please have your head examined,” Otchere-Darko stated.
Otchere-Darko referenced past occurrences, noting that the opposition had previously fabricated similar accusations against former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
“It’s not new. They accused K4 falsely of stealing all of Ghana’s gold; distributed photocopies of fake bank accounts of K4’s ministers with crazy amounts which combined was bigger than Ghana’s GDP! Yes!”
The Agyapadie document has sparked extensive discussions across various Ghanaian media outlets. The document, alleged to have existed since 2020, was denounced as fraudulent by the Okyehene Amoatia Ofori Panin.
He dismissed the document’s authenticity, questioning, “Which reasonable person in his right frame of mind hatches such an intention and documents it with his image as a cover page?”
Drawing parallels to historical events, the Okyehene remarked, “We saw this during the period of J.B Danquah and we’re seeing this now. In and around October 2016, a few months before the election, a similar document known as the ‘Akyem Project’ was circulated. Its purpose was to stir up hatred between Okyeman and Asanteman to undermine Nana Akufo-Addo’s electoral efforts. Unfortunately for them, it arrived too late.”
He continued, “This diabolic plan was revised in 2019. In 2020, when the Agyapa business became a political issue, the book suddenly transformed into ‘Agyapadie’.”
The Okyehene also countered claims that the Ofori Panin Fie had risen to prominence through dubious means, noting that the Eastern Region had greater representation in former President Kufuor’s cabinet than under Akufo-Addo. He suggested that the current controversy aims to incite hostility towards the Akyem people.
