At the presidential luncheon hosted in his honor at the Accra International Conference Centre following his inauguration, President John Mahama gave a cheerful knock to Appiah Stadium, a staunch supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). President Mahama shared a moment with Appiah Stadium, who attended the meal. During the supper, the two were having an inaudible chat.
President Mahama was observed smiling while he grabbed Appiah Stadium's head and gave him a head bump prior to the conversation. In reaction, Appiah Stadium took the president's hand, turned it, and gave it a back kiss. The reason behind the knock is unknown, but the Mahama family views Appiah Stadium as a personal friend. When Appiah Stadium calls Mahama his father, it might well be a parent teasingly pounding on his son's door.
