  "account": "Ghanaian politician Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, known as General Mosquito, has shared a photograph of himself with his wife on social media, stating \"Woman Crush Everyday.\" This seemingly casual post has sparked speculation about the National Democratic Congress (NDC) succession and the potential First Lady. At 69, Asiedu Nketiah has hinted at a possible presidential bid, but has not ruled it out. The photograph presents a different side of the veteran politician, showcasing his private life as a husband and partner. While there is no evidence of her involvement in politics, the timing of the post suggests a potential partnership, reflecting the importance of personal support in a public figure's journey.",
  "summary": "For years, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has been one of the most recognisable figures in Ghanaian politics....He is a strategist, party organiser and veteran political operator whose nickname, General Mosquito, has become almost as famous as his name.",
