Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin, has strongly refuted a circulating document titled “Agyapadie” that features his image, calling it a complete fabrication.

He stated that the document is part of an ongoing hate campaign against the Ofori Panin household and Okyeman.

Speaking at a meeting of the Akyem Abuakwa State Council, the Okyenhene urged his people and all Ghanaians to dismiss the document, questioning the motives and sanity of those behind its creation.

The King of Akyem Abuakwa emphasized that the Ofori Panin Fie has always held a prominent position and has not engaged in any recent activities that would justify accusations of self-aggrandizement.

According to the Okyenhene, the Eastern Region had greater representation in former President Kufuor’s cabinet than in President Akufo-Addo’s, suggesting that the controversy aims to incite animosity towards the Akyem people.

He recalled similar tactics used during J.B. Danquah’s era and in 2016 when a document known as the “Akyem Project” was circulated to stir up discord between Okyeman and Asanteman.

The Okyenhene also dismissed rumors about his wealth.

“I have heard things in recent times. The funniest of it is that I am the richest chief in Ghana. I mean how? Anyway, when anyone regards you as a rich person, you must receive it. I receive it.”
