Agyapadie Document: How the church and Islam were targeted

The Agyapadie document is currently the most talked about, most mysterious and enigmatic document in Ghana. Those who have been accused of writing this document have vehemently denied this and branded it as a fake document written by their political opponents. However, the contents of the document are being systematically and strategically implemented by the current government headed by President Akufo-Addo, one of the alleged key orchestrators of the document and beneficiaries of its fruit.

Much have been written about the document, the Ghanaian media has eventually woken up and are interrogating this document which has targeted every aspect of our socio-economic space, this article highlights how the church and religion was targeted in the document.

Page 23 of the document placed emphasise on the need to identify and profile some church leaders within the country as they seem to perpetrate an agenda against the political tradition of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), adding that “they must be properly contained and muted”.

Duncan Williams:
It further went on to mention Archbishop Duncan Williams, it says “His love for money is not in doubt and material inducements and commercial gains make him vulnerable to market incentives. This means that he has a good nose for the highest bidder. His relationship with leading members of the NDC is an open secret. It is therefore important to encourage the EC chair to build better relations and frequent his place as discreet as possible to seek spiritual directions and make firm pledges of her commitment to a transparent election, knowing very that he will further reassure the NDC establishment of the honesty of the EC system. This will give them the comfort we need in order to tame a potential NDC aggressive posture towards the EC”.

Pastor Mensah Otabil:
“Even though sympathetic to us, information suggests that the closure of Capital Bank has somehow affected his loyalty to the Nana. Brother Ofori-Atta’s account of his demeanor on the night before the announcement of the closure of Capital Bank indicates he was not too averse with our decision. The strategic implication of Ken meeting with the pastor and subsequent feedback from his inner circle points to the impression that he may, out of spite, opt for an NDC replacement. Should that happen, it would be seen as a declaration of war by one of our own. We should be reminded that an insider fighting you is more dangerous than the sworn enemy. In any case, he appears to be more aligned with the Kufuor camp”.

It went on to add that “Intelligent efforts should be adopted to route his church following against his person, should he defect. Possible access to his personal assets, business interests and potential relations with some women will need to be explored in finer detail”.

National Chief Imam:
On the National Chief Imam the document details on the need to prepare an exit plan for him. “This has become necessary in view of the fact that the demise of his deputy has created a vacancy. The intense lobbying by the Muslim leaders should be properly handled in the face of the promises we have made to each of them. Government will need to find a discreet way of influencing the process of the appointment of the next National Chief Imam as well as the Deputy”

It added that “The candidates for this should be well verified party sympathizers who are likely to stand with the party in crucial circumstances; as has been with the current Ashanti Regional Imam”.

Bishop Charles Agyin Asare:
“Quite visibly, an NDC sympathizer, who only appears to speak whenever NPP is in power. He must be watched carefully. Our men within his inner circle have done pretty well with accurate briefs but it is time to adopt an open muscular approach. The respect and esteem with which he is held by other leading pastors may need to be marred by recruiting other high staged pastors to launch vile attacks in some ingenuous ways. However, the President must desist from directly responding to him as advised by our people within his inner circle”.

Sam Korankye Ankrah:
This particular pastor was described as “perhaps even more visibly a surrogate of the NDC, who has cleverly concealed this aspect to appear as a national Christian hero. A constant eye watch and monitoring of this man is required with specific efforts to contain his commercial interests which have been identified”.

This is how intense their desire to capture and control all aspects of the country became. They will stop at nothing to achieve their objectives. Despite the expected denial, their plans and agenda still remains intact. The only way to stop this is by voting against the NPP in the upcoming 2024 elections. Voting for Dr.Bawumia will only present them an opportunity to continue with this agenda.
