General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress [NDC], Johnson Asiedu Nketia who’s affectionately called ‘General Mosquito’ says popular Kumasi-based NDC serial caller, 'Appiah Stadium' needs to be patted on the back for describing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as a “Monkey”.
According to him, Appiah Stadium who is a supporter of ex-President John Dramani Mahama must be commended rather than condemnedn.
“Insulting a president is not anything new in this country. That is the stock-in-trade of the NPP, they are well noted for casting aspersions and pouring invectives on presidents; so it’s a payback time for them.
The government must rather commend and protect Appiah Stadium for insulting [Likening the president to a Monkey and a wee smoker] the president” the NDC Chief Scribe said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show dubbed ‘Ghana Montie’.
Appiah Stadium was captured in an audio circulating pouring sickening invectives on President Nana Addo during his recent visit to the United States.
The popular serial caller who tagged the president a “wee smoker” and later likened him to a “monkey” is now pleading for forgiveness.
But his General Secretary apparently sees him as a ‘hero’ in the NDC and maintained that “he has done no wrong.”
According to Mr. Asiedu Nketia, the president can pray the court for justification if he [President Nana Addo] feels offended.
“Nana Addo [President] is one person who fought against criminal libel law. He created the freedom for everyone to insult presidents. So why is he worried if people are utilizing it?”
“This same NPP people subjected late President Atta Mills to insults. President Mahama wasn’t left out, they insulted them anyhow. So why are they complaining now when they are being paid back in their ow coin?” he rhetorically quizzed.

This man, Asiedu Nketia has never said anything sensible in this country. I wonder if he thinks before he speaks
I strongly believe that this issue of insults are never new in this our current political dispensation. Where that habit and culture came from is unclear and maybe the Sociology department of the University of Ghana should be task to conduct a thorough research into this unfortunate phenomenon. To the extent that those who can insult a lot are hailed by both parties especially the NPP & the NDC as heroes compared to even Entrepreneurs and Private Employers. But the fact remains and we as the youth MUST CHANGE THE STATUS QUO for our children to pursue democracy in a different way, more issue based centred, strong brain storming, affirmative developmental goals, accept UNITY IN DIVERSITY, create the platform for the WITTY MINDED. Come to think of it, if my child who is in JSS, got to know that I insult Presidents for a living, not constructively attacking their economic policies, I wonder what professional path that child will aspire to be. Kwame Nkrumah is of the believe that "FORWARD EVER, BACKWARDS NEVER' and I also strongly believe in that. I will rather foster forward not knowing what lies ahead of me than to retract and return because it is becoming difficult everyday on my journey's. I strongly believe that Ghana and where we are' We really do not need the likes of General Mosquito" and NDC must do well to bring young and vibrant and witty-minded politicians to spearhead their agenda of taking power again. I know NDC have a lot of such materials that can be groom. Ghana is the name of this country and what is not good is not good. Vengeance and bitter acrimonies had, and will never build a nation else we shall continually queue at Embassies' to sake for greener pastures even to countries who we have better per Capita Income and people will continue to struggle cross both the desert and Mediterranean Sea to get to the 'Promise Land", Europe their destination.
This f000...lish NDC general secretary is just being sarcastic..... This behaviour will keep the evil NDC party in opposition forever....... Keep it up Asiedu Nketiah!
THIS ***barred word*** MAN NANA JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE. HE DOES NOT DREAM THAT HE WILL GET MONEY, NOW HE IS RICH. I MEAN VERY RICH. ALL BECAUSE RAWLINGS HAS INTRO DUCE HIM INTO POLITICS.HE IS VERY UNGRATEFUL,EVEN RAWLINGS HE CALLED HIM A DOG.
Aluta or whatever you call yourself; is Appiah Stadium from the Volta or the Northern Region for you to speak like that. Stop this ***barred word*** tribal politics whenever NPP is in power as if the NDC is made up of only people from the Volta or the Northern Region. NPP remains a national party and you can confirm this from the Parliament. cowards and sour losers!!
GHANAIANS ARE FOND OF SUPPORTING FOOOLLLIIISSSHHH PEOPLE. ASIEDU AND HIS PPLE ARE ALEADY FFOOOLLLS
HE WHO LIVES BY THE SWORD DIES BY THE SWORD. HE WHO BRINGS ANT INFESTED MAGGOTS TO THE HOUSE SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN WHEN THEY ARE VISITED BY MANY LIZARDS. IF YOU THROW A BALL AGAINST THE WALL IT WILL SURELY COME BACK TO YOU.THESE ARE THE REWARDS OF OUR ACTIONS. EVERYONE HAS FORGOTTEN WHEN THEY STARTED THE INSULTS FROM DR. HILLA LIMANN SAYING HE WAS NOT FIT FOR THE CASTLE AND THAT HE HAD CHEWED COLA TO SPOIL THE CASTLE BECAUSE HE DID NOT BELONG TO THE NPP PARTY AND HE ALSO CAME FROM A PARTICULAR ETHNIC ORIGIN. WHEN RAWLINGS TOOK OVER THE REIGNS OF GOV'T THE SAME INSULTS FROM THE SAME CROUP CALLED HIM "A SHAWOO BA" BECAUSE HE BELONGED TO A PARTICULAR PARTY AND A PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP. OTHERS IN THIS COUNTRY THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AND ARE LICENSED TO INSULT OTHERS BUT GROUPS DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT. PEOPLE MUST WAKEUP AND LEARN THOSE LERSONS FROM RWANDA AND LEARN TO RESPECT EVERY GROUP IN THIS COUNTRY OR ELSE WE ARE SURELY SITTING ON A TIME BOMB. A WORD TO THE WISE, THE SAY IS ENOUGH.
You ve said it right. NOBODY is afraid of anybody. After all death does not discriminate. Is just that NDC is full of decent people, so sometimes they let cool heads to prevail. What insults didn't we hear from NPP when they were in opposition? Till they are not ready to withdraw when prompted. Today they have realised insults are not good. He Atta Mills suffered in these people hands till they used his handicap to tease him.hypo.crites
small boys are young, if we have such material in our ndc party, i don't we will go forward.
Do you guys think at all? Are you pple well? Who do you think you're? It shouldn't ever occur to you that someone is afraid to speak his or her mind in this country. Were you not ***barred word*** in this country where NPP guys were insulting formal govt officials? Who's Nana Addo? He started it,He endorsed it, let him suffer for it. And to u guys you had better ***barred word*** coz we'll continue to resist till everyone is respected in this country.
