  "account": "Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has conveyed profound sympathies to Nigeria in the wake of a devastating plane crash that claimed 25 lives in Igbokoda, Ondo State on October 5. In a statement issued on Thursday, the Ghanaian government shared in the sorrow of the Nigerian people, acknowledging the profound grief that now grips the nation. Mahama extended his heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the victims, as well as to the Nigerian Armed Forces and the broader Nigerian population. This expression of empathy arose from Ghana's own recent experience of a similar tragedy less than a year ago, which saw the loss of six of its citizens. That somber memory, the statement noted, provided a poignant backdrop to Ghana's current support for Nigeria. \"Ghana shares in Nigeria’s grief,\" the message emphasized, as the government offered its thoughts and prayers to those affected by the loss. The nation joins Nigeria in mourning the tragic loss.",
