Controversial Ghanaian political commentator Frank Kwaku Appiah, popularly known as Appiah Stadium has been spotted at the Parliament of Ghana ahead of Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Baah Forson's national budget presentation on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the staunch supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) wore a blue long-sleeved shirt, a loose tie, black shoes and a designer bag as he arrived at the parliament house premises for the occasion.

Before entering the parliament chamber, Appiah Stadium took to address some media personnel and share his opinion on the ruling government's 2025 budget statement.

The political commentator explained that he had flown into Accra from his residence in Kumasi for Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Baah Forson's budget presentation and was optimistic that Ghanaians would be satisfied with its content.

When asked to speak about some of the initiatives being proposed in the budget, Appiah Stadium declined, stating that he did not want to gain negative press like the former Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah who failed to list the New Patriotic Party's achievements in the region during their eight-year governance.

He noted that Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Baah Forson would propose the abolishment of several taxes imposed by former president Nana Akufo-Addo and former finance minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta in recent years.

Appiah Stadium recounted a survey that was conducted by independent researchers before the 2024 general elections and suggested that the government cater to the needs of the younger generation in the country.

He also urged the media to praise President John Dramani Mahama for his commitment to effecting change in Ghana and tackling major issues facing the country.
