Founding member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Alhaji Sani says members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and President Akufo-Addo have no moral right to condemn Appiah Stadium for his insulting conduct.
According to him, the NPP and President Akufo-Addo in particular are responsible for instilling that uncouth behaviour in him when he was an ardent member of NPP and a ‘darling boy’ of Nana Akufo Addo a coupleof years ago.
Speaking to Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, host of Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, Alhaji Sani revealed that then Candidate Akufo-Addo allowed Appiah Stadium to insult NDC leaders and even accused Ohene Agyekum of keeping ballot boxes in his house which nearly resulted in a gun battle.
Citing the ordeal he suffered at the hands of Appiah Stadium, Alhaji Sani mentioned that the former caused his arrest after a radio session with Ayisi Boateng and he was stripped naked and moved to Accra in handcuffs.
“When he was doing all these things to us, Nana Addo didn’t come out to condemn him. They describe President Atta Mills as a Chimpanzee and Nana Addo didn’t say anything about it”, he recalled.
He added that “recently Otiko-Djaba insulted President Mahama and while the Minority on the Vetting Committee of Parliament said she should withdraw her statement that the President is heartless and wicked, President Akufo Addo didn’t reproach her for insulting the former Head of State and no NPP member came out to condemn her”.
Alhaji Sani however was of the view that President Akufo Addo created his own monster in Appiah Stadium when he was a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), thus it is not the responsibility of the NDC to ensure he is now of good behaviour.
“And now that he [Nana Addo] has created his own monster in his laboratory and the monster is devouring him up, what does he want us to say about it? I can cite so many examples...yet President Akufo-Addo never said anything in condemnation”, he stated.
“When we attended the funeral of Bantama Chief in Kumasi, the NPP hooted at former President Mahama as if he was a petty thief and President Akufo-Addo couldn’t reprimand them to stop and protect the presidency.”
“Now that you have trained someone to be insulting and the person has turned on you, you want me to condemn him; for what reason? I will never condemn him today or tomorrow. Akufo Addo fell on the knife he pulled; he trained Appiah Stadium how to shoot a gun and he has turned the gun on him, then they want us to condemn him. We won’t do it because they did nothing when their supporters insulted President Mahama”, he stressed.

is appiah stadium not old enough to act rightly unless pushed? did you hear the president blaming anybody for appiah stadiums ***barred word*** behaviour? the president believes appiah stadium acted on his own volition and not any ndc member pushed him so why will you turn round and blame him for the insults appiah stadium reined on ndc when he was a member of the npp. please you are matured so it will do your image a good deal if you speak rightly at all times not forgetting that your religion abhors lies. an alhaji so to speak. if people like you are founding fathers of political parties no wonder we are where we are today. shame on you.
Some of our Leaders have lost their heads.....Its a shaaammee. No wonder one party would come and take the country to a different level and the other will come and send it backwards. By way of allowing pension monies to be stollen by someone who have no degree to his name. We need the intervention of only God in this country.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE TRUTH ANS SAY IT AS IT IS. DON'T BE BLINDED, SAY THE TRUTH ONLY, IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY PARTY COLORATION. STOP SELLING YOUR HEARTS!!!
My man go to Zimbabwe and say this.
Is this guy a real founding member of the NDC? That is why their slogan has changed from probity and accountability to create, l00t and share. This NDC party is dead.....
Just look at how a whole founding member of a party speaks. Anyway one should not be surprised as these myopic thinking is expected from the the N D C.
Sometimes I wonder if Ghanaians who claim to be educated truly want the country to prosper and become part of the developing world. There seem to be a concerted effort to spend valuable and useful time in dwelling on trivialities mainly to score unproductive infantile political points. Meanwhile the major problems facing the country remain unresolved and those who wallow in intellectual masturbation continue to be heard on the airwaves and all means of media without them offering one single useful workable none partisan solution to any of the problems that might help the country move forward.
Commenting on this issue raised, Appiah Stadium has regreted for his action and has apologised why do you then go round trying to open the case again. Such bad nut in the society are the people who should be avoided. You knew Appiah Stadium's character before you accepted him into your party. Did you try to remould him, you decided to lead him on the path of destruction and now you are blaming other people. If John Mahama is hooted at a funeral, is it the responsibility of the President? What did Asemfofor do to Ex President Kufuor? There is a difference between insulting and describing somebody. The two are never the same. WISE UP.
