The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has shared an emotional message for his late mother ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday, May, 10, 2026.
Asiedu Nketia, in his emotional letter, reflected on lessons he learnt from his mother, Hagar Akosua Afrah, also known as Kwaa.
The NDC Chairman revealed that his mother died 12 years ago, on 2ND May 2014.
He further detailed that under his late mum’s guidance, he learnt a few things worth sharing: “To place God at the centre of all things. To persevere with determination. Never give up. To show respect for all, no matter where they come from or who they are. And finally, to do what is right even when no one is watching”.
In a Facebook post shared on May 7, 2026, Asiedu Nketiah wrote, “Ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday, I took time to reflect on precious moments with my late mum, Hagar Akosua Afrah, Kwaa – as we lovingly called her, who passed on 2nd May, 2014 (12 years ago).
Some of life’s most enduring lessons are formed long before we fully grasp their significance.
In Kwaa’s quiet guidance, I learnt a few things worth sharing:
1. To place God at the centre of all things.
2. To persevere with determination. Never give up.
3. To show respect for all, no matter where they come from or who they are.
4. And finally, to do what is right even when no one is watching.
These principles have remained a constant guide throughout my life.
I’m truly grateful for you, Kwaa”.
The NDC Chairman’s message has got Ghanaians on Facebook talking, saying, “I will be your Oti and Volta regions campaign lead for you to succeed JDM and the next president, even if I need to sell everything I possess for the love and respect for you, CHAIRMAN.
Your wisdom, political journey and humor is unmarched in Ghana”.
One more Ghanaian wrote, “Most ‘old girls’ will still prefer their old homes no matter what you give in exchange of that 😀😀😀
But even if they refuse to move into the mansions, God should remind us to regularly ‘paint’ their preferred old homes for them”.
“Awwwnn🥰
I’m also called Akosua Hagar.
I pray for your Mother’s blessings(Long life), and I also pray for your greatest courage for My Son🙏🏾
May her soul rest in perfect peace”, one last Ghanaian added.
