Parliamentary candidate for Amenfi Central and wife of Ghanaian musician Keche Andrew, Joana Gyan Cudjoe, has shared the lengths she went to in order to win the attention of her husband.
In a discussion with MzGee aired on November 13, 2024, the politician disclosed that she disguised herself as a poor woman to test if Keche was truly interested in her, or just after her money.
Joana explained that she wanted to be certain of Keche’s genuine affection for her.
“I didn’t know much about his personal life, and based on what I was hearing at the time, I wanted to be sure he was serious and loved me for who I am. That’s why I often used taxis or trotro to visit him. When I arrived, I would call him to come pick me up and even ask him to pay for the fare.
“At one point, he got frustrated because sometimes I didn’t inform him about the public transport I was using, and all I would do is ask for money for the fare. He would complain about why I didn’t tell him beforehand, but through it all, he showed me that he really loved me,” she added.
When Keche Andrew was asked how he eventually discovered his wife’s true identity, he stated, “Keche Joshua knew my real identity all along, but he didn’t tell me. One day, I was invited to her office, and when I got there, I told the receptionist I was looking for Joana Gyan. After sitting in the waiting area, I was taken aback when I finally saw her. I was in shock for an hour or two.”
Reflecting on their marriage, Andrew spoke about the role communication and trust have played in their relationship, despite facing several challenges and external attacks.
“There was a time when I was receiving calls from girls and other people threatening me, even spreading rumours about me to Joana. Sometimes, I would take her phone and chat with them directly. Even some of my fellow musicians and media personalities were involved,” he recalled.
He added, “I remember one night I had an open conversation with her, telling her all my secrets, everything I’d done, and what I planned to do. After that, I told her to choose: stay with me or leave. But all she did was cry, and the next morning, she gave me a chance. And here we are.”
