'Agyapadie': You should’ve added how your party’s machinery also spreads false stories about Mahama — Nana Aba Anamoah blasts Akufo-Addo

Media personality Nana Aba Anamoah has taken a swipe at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) role in disseminating false stories aimed at discrediting former President John Dramani Mahama.

According to President Akufo-Addo, a fabricated document titled "Agyapadie" has been circulated by opposition operatives as evidence of the NPP’s supposed plans.

“This baseless accusation is yet another example of the malicious tactics used to undermine my credibility and integrity,” the President stated.

“In the run-up to the 2008, 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, I was a target of numerous false and malicious stories attacking my credibility and integrity. In 2008, baseless allegations of drug trafficking were spread, along with numerous rumours about my health intended to cast doubt on my ability to serve as President.

“Again, the 2012 election saw false reports of my alleged arrest in London for drug possession and fabricated quotes designed to stir ethnic tension. In 2016, it was alleged by sympathizers of the opposition that I had killed my late wife. Today, with a few months to the 2024 elections, they are at it again. The fabricated document entitled 'Agyapadie' is being spread around by operatives of the opposition as evidence of a grand scheme by my party to annex the assets of the state,” he recounted.

In reaction, Nana Aba Anamoah urges the president to admit that the NPP was also involved in spreading falsehood about the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama.

Her tweet reads, "The President just detailed how fake, scandalous stories were shared about him in previous & upcoming elections by the opposition.

“It would have been nice to add how his party's machinery also widely spreads wild false stories about John Mahama. That's fair."
