He could have spoken about the bad deeds of Kandahar boys, Delta Force and the rest, but he never went that way. You [Rawlings] ruled for 19 years as against Kufour\u2019s 8 years but whenever you speak you cause problems for your own party, [NDC], whereas Kufuor\u2019s statements are always enriched with wisdom, giving good advice to the NPP.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But speaking to Fiifi Banson on Anopa Kasapa, Andy Kankam stated that ex President Mahama will do himself and his political future a lot of good if he distances himself from the unwarranted attacks by Appiah Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he knows nothing about what Appiah Stadium has been doing, especially his recent vituperation on the Founder, he should come out and distance himself from him.
