"Gyae ruff no": Ibrahim Mahama fumes, scolds Appiah Stadium over his complaint

Ibrahim Mahama Scolds Appiah Stadium Over Handshake Snub

On June 2, 2025, Ghanaian businessman Ibrahim Mahama had an encounter with political commentator Appiah Stadium. This happened at the Mining in Motion Summit in Accra. The event took place at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City.

Ibrahim Mahama is the CEO of Engineers and Planners. He attended the summit alongside other wealthy business leaders. He arrived with Samuel Esson Jonah, a mentor and former CEO of Ashanti Goldfields Company.

As they walked through the hotel, they greeted dignitaries present at the event. Ibrahim Mahama shook hands with Appiah Stadium but was disappointed by Sam Jonah's lack of handshake. This led to complaints from Appiah Stadium.

Ibrahim Mahama scolded him for his remarks. He warned Appiah to behave properly before leaving with Sam Jonah and others. The incident drew mixed reactions on social media.

This was not the first time Ibrahim Mahama reprimanded Appiah Stadium. In February, he cautioned him about his aggressive behavior towards President John Dramani Mahama at a funeral service.

During their brief interaction, Ibrahim expressed concern over Appiah's demeanor after being denied a meeting with President Mahama following a State of the Nation Address.

Social media users reacted to this incident as well. Comments included frustrations about Appiah Stadium's behavior and calls for someone to put him in his place.
