Farida struggles to recognise Appiah Stadium
Following the end of the funeral service at the Black Stars Square, Appiah Stadium approached President John Dramani Mahama's daughter, Farida Mahama, as she and her brothers, Shafik and Sharaf Mahama, made their way out of the venue.
In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, the president's daughter struggled to recognise and recall the name of the Kumasi-based social commentator, who is a staunch supporter of her father, as they shook hands and conversed among a large crowd.
Appiah Stadium later called on Farida Mahama's brother, Sharaf Mahama, who finally unveiled the staunch NDC supporter's identity to his sister.
The pair later shared an embrace before the president's daughter joined her brothers to depart the Black Stars Square.
Farida Mahama and Appiah Stadium's awkward interaction came as a surprise to many, considering the latter's close relationship to President John Dramani Mahama and the First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama.
In past interviews, the staunch NDC supporter has spoken about his various visits to the president's home and how he had been considered as one of his children.
