I’ve reconsidered my doubts about ‘Agyapadie’ document – Togbe Afede XIV

Togbe Afede XIV, the Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State, says certain events over the past few years have made him reconsider his initial doubts about the authenticity of the ‘Agyapadie’ document.

The ‘Agyapadie’ document alleges a plot by some members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and some individuals from Akyem to engage in state capture and exploit national resources.

The document remains highly controversial, with President Akufo-Addo and the Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin dismissing it as baseless and fabricated.

At a durbar to receive former President Mahama and his campaign entourage, Togbe Afede recounted instances where he and his businesses were targeted, which made him question the genuineness of the document.

“I found it difficult to believe that, that was a genuine document but of course, certain things we go through give us thoughts to the contrary. I recall that in 2019 or thereabouts, we received a letter for us to sign, pre-written in our names, to resign from the group of companies that advise the government on its bond issues. That came as a shock.”

“When I reflect on some of these things, the overlord said, “I begin to wonder,” he states.
