The founder and leader of the All Peoples Congress (APC) Hassan Ayariga has touted his life achievements which he says are enough evidence of his capacity and competence to lead Ghana.
The 2012 flagbearer of the Peoples National Convention broke away to form his own political party after losing the flagbearership position to Dr. Edward Mahama.
Speaking to Azongo Albert on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East Show, Monday, Mr. Hassan Ayariga controverted assertions that he formed a political party for monetary gains. While trumpeting his personal achievements as a successful businessman, he noted that he was a sole financier of the PNC during the 2012 campaign and has again single handedly formed a political party with offices across the country using his personal resources.
“At the age of sixteen-seventeen I went to Europe. At the age of 22 I built my first house…At the age of 24 I made my first 1 million dollars. At the age of forty I became a presidential candidate in the country and it is not by chance but it’s in the records,” he said.
He added that he owns the biggest mansion in his village which is supreme over all other splash mansions in northern Ghana.
“People will say when you out you don’t come back. I’m not boasting but I think I have put up a mansion in my own hometown that the whole of upper east and northern region nobody has put up that kind of mansion and I help my chiefs and everybody in my community.”
According to him, Ghana has the resources that can transform the lives of the people citing oil and gold but blamed the level of poverty in the country on poor leadership which he said the APC would rectify to transform the country.
He further disclosed that the APC would soon launch a vigorous campaign ahead of the November polls and would only support a party that would accept a power sharing deal in case of a run-off which he said is highly possible.
