The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dismissed the ‘Agyapadeɛ’ book as a propaganda tool deployed by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to cause disaffection for the NPP ahead of the 2024 general election.
According to the Director of Communications for the NPP campaign team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the book is one of several propaganda tools used by the NDC to discredit the NPP.
Aboagye provided historical evidence to support his argument, stating that the NDC is behind the book, and that all the details captured in the book were written by the NDC to trick readers into believing its content.
“There is an article that Kwaku Azar wrote for the CDD that is on the CDD website in 2020. They picked the entire article verbatim and put it in the Agyapadeɛ book, and that is supposed to be something that Gabby and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the Akyem Mafia wrote before they came to office. Why, why is John Mahama and the NDC treating all of us as stupid,” he quizzed.
Speaking on Accra-based Asaase Radio yesterday, Mr. Aboagye revealed that the book has failed woefully to achieve its intended mission.
As a result, he noted that the NDC’s flagbearer, ex-President John Dramani Mahama, has picked up the book as one of his main campaign messages to give life to a dying propaganda document.
“There is a reason John Mahama has gotten into the conversation. He wants to give credence to a book that is dying. People have realised that this is a book that was [put together by the NDC]. If you pick the book, you will see that everything is coming to pass except for the ones that have not come to pass, which are the ones that they have sat down and cooked up,” he asserted.
Mr. Aboagye pointed out that there are three different versions of the ‘Agyapadeɛ’ book, each with varying page numbers and content.
The first version, which is 37 pages long, does not mention insurance, while the later versions include a whole chapter on insurance.
He indicated that the book has been updated multiple times to include new information, such as the SSNIT scenario, which was not present in the original version.
He also observed that the book is a compilation of stories and news from online portals, with some parts being verbatim copies of online articles.
Miracles Aboagye questioned the credibility of the book, citing examples of fake stories and manipulated information.
He accused the NDC of trying to deceive Ghanaians with the ‘Agyapadeɛ’ book, and urged citizens to be cautious of the NDC’s propaganda tactics.
Aboagye reiterated that the ‘Agyapadeɛ’ book was a propaganda tool with no credibility, and emphasised that the NPP will not be swayed by the NDC’s attempts to discredit them.
