National Democratic Congress (NDC) stalwart and outspoken social media commentator, Appiah Stadium, has explained why he was absent from the funeral of the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III.
In a self-recorded video circulating on social media, Appiah Stadium disclosed that he is currently in Malta attending a course, which prevented him from being present at the historic funeral rites in Kumasi.
He stressed that his travel to Malta was the sole reason for his absence from the event, which drew thousands of mourners including high-profile dignitaries.
In the same video, Appiah Stadium expressed his gratitude to several individuals for their support, mentioning the CEO of Ghana Links, Mr. Abeam Danso; Aboagye Contractor; and the CEO of Ghana GOLDBOD, Mr. Sammy Gyamfi.
Appiah Stadium is known for his active commentary on political and social issues in Ghana, and his absence from the Asantehemaa’s funeral had sparked questions among followers and traditionalists. His clarification now puts speculation to rest.
