The Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin, has vehemently denied a circulating document titled “Agyapadie” that features his image, describing it as a complete fabrication.
According to him, the document is part of a long-standing hate campaign against the Ofori Panin household and Okyeman.
Speaking at a meeting of the Akyem Abuakwa State Council, Okyenhene urged his people and Ghanaians to disregard the document, questioning the sanity of those who created it.
The King of Akyem Abuakwa noted that the Ofori Panin Fie has always been prominent and hasn’t done anything extraordinary recently to warrant accusations of self-elevation.
According to Okyenhene, the Eastern Region had more representation in former President Kufuor’s cabinet than in Akufo-Addo’s, suggesting the controversy is aimed at stirring up animosity towards the Akyem people.
He recalled similar tactics during J.B. Danquah’s time and in 2016, when a document called the “Akyem Project” circulated, attempting to fan hatred between Okyeman and Asanteman.
Okyenhene also discarded 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.”
