The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Bernard Anwti-Boasiako, has accused the National Democratic Congress flagbearer and his running mate of fabricating the Agyapdie document.
According to him, the infamous document was concocted by John Mahama and Naana Opoku-Agyemang to discredit the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking on Busua FM, he alleged that Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang wrote and published the document, hence its absence of an author.
He also alleged that the same tactic was used to discredit John Agyekum Kufuor's tenure as president during his former administration.

Anwti-Boasiako also stated that John Mahama should not have cited the Agyapadie document, which has no author.
He said the former president was liable for defamation for presenting the document as factual on his campaign tours.
“It is Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, the NDC, and John Mahama who wrote it,” he exclaimed.
The NPP member further urged Ghanaians to disregard the Agyapadie document and treat it with 'the contempt it deserved'.
The Agyapadie document details an alleged strategic plan to position the Akyem people at the helm of the Ghanaian economy.
The document, which has been described as a master plan for state capture, has gained notoriety in recent months and has captivated both traditional and social media spaces.
