I’m very much hurt by the attempt to use my name to grant legitimacy to Agyapa deal – Togbe Afede XIV

The president of the National House of Chiefs, Togbe Afede XIV who doubles as the Paramount Chief of the Agbogbomefia State says he has never commented on the ongoing debate about the Agyapa deal for very good reasons.

Hr however did not understand why some people wanted to use his name to grant legitimacy to the deal he hasn’t said anything about.

“I, in particular, I’m very much hurt by the attempt to use my name to grant legitimacy to a transaction that has been widely condemned for its secrecy and for the fact that the company involved [Agyapa] was incorporated in a tax haven. I do not see why desperation would lead anybody associated with that transaction to want to use the name of the innocent Togbe Afede XIV. I have never commented on this transaction and I have decided not to comment for good reasons,” he stated
