The flag bearer of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, has taken a swipe at Nana Akufo-Addo, claiming the 72-year-old New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer still lives in his father’s house despite his age.
Apart from saying Mr Akufo-Addo lacks the capacity to manage Ghana, Mr Ayariga said at 72, Nana Akufo-Addo should retire from politics.
Speaking on Class FM on Monday, September 26, Mr Ayariga said he had many successful businesses across the country which made him the best nominee for president in the December polls though he was not as boastful about his accomplishments as the flag bearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, who he claimed was going round describing himself as ‘adwumawura’ – creator of jobs.
Talking about his accomplishments, Mr Ayariga said: “I made my first $1million at the age of 24 without working with any government. I have never been in a government position; I have never worked as a Minister for you to say I have stolen government money. I built my first house at the age of 22…; at age 72, my senior and my father, Nana Akufo-Addo, is still living in his father’s house. At this age 72, I would have retired from politics and been advising young men of this country to move this country forward and not contest with them anymore.”
The former People’s National Convention flag bearer accused Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr Nduom of contributing to the hardship in the country. According to him, the two nominees have served in government before and, therefore, “they have contributed in building this country”.
“So, if they go round telling Ghanaians Ghana is in crisis and Ghana has become a difficult place for us to live and that we need a change, yes, let’s accept and believe that we need change but that change will not be a change from the NDC to any of them because if Ghana is in crisis, these people are part of the problem why Ghana is in crisis today, because they were given the opportunity to serve and have served,” the 2012 People’s National Convention presidential candidate explained.
Mr Akufo-Addo was the Foreign Affairs Minister and Attorney General in the erstwhile Kufour-led government while Dr Nduom served as the Minister of Private Sector Development.

Are you campaigning as opposition or as a government spokesperson?
Not only is he living there but also sold his dad property for politics. Nana is the most ffoolish old man of all time.
Hahahahahahahaha, I will forever respect you Ayariga. I don't understand why at 72years and struggling over 20yrs (1996-2016) to rule Ghana, Nana Addo continue to disturb the youth for power. Nana want to be president at age 80 + years????? I can't think far. God have mercy
THIS MAN IS NOT SERIOUS CAN HE COMPARE HIMSELF WITH NANA ADDO HE SHOULD GIVE US A BREAK HE ONLY SATISFYING HIS PAY MASTER MAHAMA
But at the age of 72 and still living in your father's house is not a good thing at all. The bible says a good man will leave inheritance for his children children. So if at the age of 72 you're still in your father's house, what do you expect your children and their children to do. Once you're not the only child of your father. May God help us the young men to leave some wealth for our children.
Thank you very much Ayarigah... more fire.
Ignorance is killing people. Ayariga if u dont know ask Nana used to live at one of his houses at East Legon if u use the tunnel and drive straight ahead. For easy assess to the people and for the fact that neighbours were complaining that is why he moved to the Nima residence.
Listen to this Pepe ***barred word*** Tani
Ayariga I dnt think this is necessary. the achievements of this man is kumpreko demonstration and holding a fake law certificate. no wonder he want blood to flow because he want to be president at all course. that is why he has train Sammy awuku, kabo, Otiko, Krementeng Agyarko, , Nana Akomea, and these ***barred word*** Atik and Abu ramandan to insult and create tension in Ghana. this is the reason why they dnt win an election, bcos the insult,tension and rudeness is too much. Let me advice All Ghanaians dnt belong to NPP. let me advice you this ***barred word*** lectures that Bawumia is doing in universities is not necessary bcos when they vacate, they will not come back to the campus to vote on the election day and the transfer too not all of them did the transfer. That is why NDC always win because in Junior high senior high schools they normally stay around so John Dumelo is wiser than Bawumia. you see now and Nana you don't knw they gave us 10gh AND T' SHIRT to follow you and conveyed NPP supporters from villagers the same thing applied to NDC so dnt think that you ve won. whn you saw a big crowd some of them dnt ve votes. so advice your followers to stop the insult and creating unnecessary tension in the country as if you are going to change gh overnight like USA. 2nd advice Ghanaians want peace. whenever you lost an election is either tain will decide or pink sheet decides in court. Ghanaians be wise even when he is not a president he wrote to commission of journalism or something I have forgot to warn particular journalist or newspaper for speaking bad against him. have you forgotten wht ur party did to Atta mills the insult, the laughter and now you claim you are going to investigate his dead Pls fantis don't be ***barred word*** by this man. he has nothing to offer than litigation. prepare ur grave for Dec 7th is ur funeral rites. do know wht people say abt u?twaaa I should vote for 72 years old man for will he be in the next 4 years. is yours follows who is making you nana, Nana ken Agyepong is right
