The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has alleged that the much-disputed Agyapadie document is a blueprint for state capture by the Nana Addo Dankwa Afufo-Addo-led government.
The Agyapadie document allegedly details an elaborate plan of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to seize state assets.
Despite President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s dismissal of the document as a fabrication designed to tarnish his political career, the NDC’s flagbearer insists that the document is genuine and that its plans are currently being put into action.
Speaking at a durbar with chiefs and queen mothers at the Bawku Naba Palace in the Upper East Region as part of his campaign tour, Mahama said the current government must be held accountable.
“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.”
