President John Dramani Mahama had an encounter with his biggest supporter, Appiah Stadium, during his trip to Kumasi for the launch of the Adwumawura programme on Monday, April 28, 2025.

The Adwumawura Programme is expected to create, mentor, and support at least 10,000 businesses annually, with a strong focus on empowering young people aged 18 to 35. Beneficiaries would receive comprehensive assistance, including skills training, mentorship, access to start-up capital, and equipment.

In a TikTok video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the President was spotted smiling broadly as he left the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi and exchanged pleasantries with comic actor and the former host of the Edziban show on TV3, Kwame Dzokoto.

President Mahama, in the presence of his heavy security detail, also encountered Kumawood actor and one of his biggest campaigners before the 2024 elections, Wayoosi, and a crowd that had gathered outside to greet him.

The leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) engaged in a friendly conversation with actor Wayoosi before inquiring about the whereabouts of the political commentator Appiah Stadium, who appeared from the crowd and stood behind the security personnel, preventing the crowd from getting close to him.

He also had a friendly conversation with Appiah's newest protégé, Kwame Ahenfie, before shaking hands with his staunch supporter. Later, he was escorted into his bulletproofed Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 Extreme Edition car by his security detail.

President Mahama's interaction with Appiah Stadium in Kumasi marked their first encounter in weeks after their last interaction at the late business magnate Alhaji Asoma Abu Banda's celebration of life event at the forecourt of the State House on April 10, 2025.

During their encounter, the controversial political commentator, who recently returned to Ghana after attending the late Adwenepahene's funeral service with Kwame Ahenfie, made the headlines after he ignored security protocols and chased the vehicle during his exit from the event with his convoy.

He had been initially blocked from gaining access to the president by security personnel.
