Nketiah and his wife, Vida Adomah Nketiah, have five children: Amma Addae Nketiah, Kwaku Asiedu Nketiah, Yaa Asantewaa Nketiah, Afia Afra Nketiah and Kwame Boateng Nketiah.
"Fatherhood has taught me that presence matters just as much as provision. As a father, I have learned that the moments we spend with our children, the values we pass on, and the support we offer along the way often leave the deepest and most lasting impact on their lives."
"Today, I celebrate all fathers, grandfathers, guardians, and mentors who give of themselves through their guidance, sacrifice, and unwavering support."
The message was also accompanied by a rare photo of the politician and his kids, which was shared on Facebook and X.
Asiedu Nketiah pays tribute to his mother
Nketiah shared a rare photo with his late mother, Hagar Afua Afrah, ahead of the 2026 Mother's Day celebration.
In the post shared on Instagram, Nketiah sat beside his then-ageing mother and conversed warmly with her.
Sharing the photo, he paid a heartfelt tribute to his late mother ahead of Mother's Day, saying the values she instilled in him decades ago continue to shape who he is today.
The NDC Chairman remembered his mother, affectionately known as Kwaa, who passed away on May 2, 2014, describing her influence as one of the most enduring forces in his life.
Asiedu Nketia listed four lessons his mother taught him that have stayed with him through the years: put God at the centre of everything, never give up in the face of difficulty, respect every person regardless of their background, and always do what is right, even when no one is watching.
General Mosquito, as he is affectionately called, said his mother's quiet guidance has continued to influence not just his personal life but his approach to leadership, long after her passing.
