A leading member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Arthur Kennedy, has expressed difficulty in accepting that the 'Agyapadie' document is fictitious and holds no relationship with Ghana's present situation.

A controversial 38-page document titled 'Agyapadie,' which prominently features the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, alongside President Nana Akufo-Addo and his late father, has resurfaced, reigniting discussions about its contents.

The document, whose author remains unidentified, is believed to outline 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.

On August 1, 2024, President Akufo-Addo addressed growing speculation about the document, which is purported to be a strategic plan of the Akyem faction within the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The president and the government New Patriotic Party (NPP) have dismissed the document as a fabrication, attributing its circulation to political adversaries aiming to discredit the party and its affiliates.

But Dr Arthur Kennedy believes the document carries weight due to certain events in Ghanaian politics that appear to align with its predictions.

He noted that when he came into contact with the document some years ago, he dismissed it but can no longer do so since recent happenings cannot be left to coincidence.

"I would have agreed with the president a year ago......but the problem is as time has gone on there are things in the document that have gone on so if it was indeed a fake document, whoever has prepared the document has very good prophetic skills because a lot of the things they are predicting are coming true. So it is very difficult to see these things that are coming true," he said in an interview on TV3.

Per the video in circulation, Dr Arthur Kennedy did not provide a list of things that were indicated in the document that have already taken place.

The Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, has also denounced the document as a baseless creation by those intent on sowing discord and inciting animosity towards the Ofori Panin family and the Okyeman community.
