He had urged him [Appiah Stadium] on. We haven\u2019t said he shouldn\u2019t support Mahama. He has the right\u2026\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He continued that, \u201che [Appiah Stadium] needs to use his conscience. There is a difference between criticizing someone on a political term and on a personal note. There is a difference. A lot of people don\u2019t know that\u2026\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Communications Director for NDP further recalled tackling ex-president Mahama\u2019s political views but unlike Appiah Stadium\u2019s it wasn\u2019t personal hence he expects him to learn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never mentioned Mahama\u2019s personal issue. I only tackled his politics. That is where people should draw the line. It is very important\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe [Appiah Stadium] will get to a stage, he will mellow. He should know where and when to talk. He should know his limits. As for us we think twice, wanting to be holier than thou\u2026\u201d he maintained on Accra-based Okay FM.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Mahama A member of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Ernest Owusu Bempah, has blamed former President John Dramani Mahama for backing Appiah Stadium, a sympathizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for insulting the current President of the land.
