The document, whose author remains unidentified, outlines strategies for a particular family or clan to establish significant influence and control over key sectors of Ghanaian society, including the economy, politics, media, judiciary, telecommunications, and banking.First made public over eight years ago, the document has recently gained renewed attention due to certain events in Ghanaian politics that appear to align with its predictions.

This article will take a dive into two actions that were projected to happen in the document but failed to take place.Ecobank Group and wife of Ace-AnkomahThe Agyapadie document predicted that to aid entry into Ecobank, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) would aid the wife of Renowned legal practitioner Ace-Ankomah, Josephine Anan-Ankomah to obtain the role of Group CEO and Managing Director of Ecobank Ghana.

"Secondly, the wife of Ace-Ankomah is the Group Head of Commercial Banking and a member of the Executive Management of the Ecobank Group. Our intelligence is that both the role of Group CEO and Managing Director of Ecobank Ghana will become vacant in the next two to three years. Nana has been advised to use all diplomatic avenues to support Ace-Ankomah's wife to fill one of these impending vacancies," the document stated.

In February 2023, Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI) appointed Josephine Anan-Ankomah, a Ghanaian banker as the managing director of Ecobank Kenya.The announcement of her appointment follows the approval from the Central Bank of Kenya.She replaced Cheikh Travaly who retired at the end of 2022 after attaining the mandatory retirement age of 60 years in accordance with Ecobank Group policy.

By the appointment, Anan-Ankomah serves as the regional executive, central, eastern and southern African (CESA).Her appointment did not correlate with the prediction.Oppong-Nkrumah heads the Communications MinistryThe Agyapadie document also predicted that in the second term of President Akufo-Addo, now former Information Minister, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah would be made to head the Communications Industry.

Per the document, a prominent member of the NPP, Gabby Otchere-Darko, had already engaged the president about the move and made headway."In the next government (2021-2024), Gabby has already convinced Nana to move Kwadwo Oppong Nkrumah to the Communications Ministry to continue the clamp down on the opposition, as well as the not too friendly radio and television stations.

He is already excited about this promise on two grounds; he would be deemed to remain one of the loyalists for the future. Secondly, that ministry has a one of the richest hence a conduit for him to increase his personal financial muscles for his presidential ambition," the document stated.The Presidency announced a major ministerial reshuffle on Wednesday, February 14.

Among those reshuffled was Mr Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, who was moved from the Information Ministry to the Ministry of Works and Housing, and not the Communications Ministry as alleged.The Communications Ministry is presently headed by Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.<img src="
