It is an undeniable fact that the name Asiedu Nketiah will always be synonymous with political ingenuity in Ghana.
Having always been a friend of the media, who have enjoyed his trademark political Jabs and innuendos, and his ability to wriggle himself out of every situation with his mouth, it is without doubt that General Mosquito as he is also known, is a master of his craft.
Celebrated by his comrades, and admired by his opponents, Mr Asiedu Nketiah yesterday mounted the witness box in the Chief Justice’s courtroom of the Supreme Court, oozing confidence and perhaps armed with a dictionary of political explosives.
The General of Ghanaian politics was soon to learn though that unlike in 2013, his adversaries in the Election Petition were not going to tolerate his antics of evading questions with smart and cheeky rhetorics.
He might have thought he was just going to testify within his personal knowledge, though he soon realized he was being invited to a National Science and Maths quiz.
General Mosquito ended up with a Makola calculator and a lawyer on the other side who appeared to have nothing called Patience.
