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.

AM CONFUSED, I CAN'T THINK FAR. WHY THIS ***barred word*** FROM AYARIGA ? HAVE YOU STOPPED USING YOUR PHD TITLE? ARE YOU CONTESTING NANA ADDO AND NDOUM ? YOU ARE MAKING POLITICS LOOK LIKE CHILD'S PLAY......JUST LIKE YOU ARE. GROW UP MR.AND STOP WASTING SPACE
I would have disowned this guy if he was to be my son.
i wonder y this ***barred word*** takes delight in saying so many things
there is everything wrong with nana still living in his dad's house at his age. No decent family will even allow a guy living in his dad's house to marry their daughter let alone talk about the presidency.
What is wrong with this Ayariga boy. If he cannot talk about issues and attack personalities then he could as well hold his peace forever. Nana Addo's Dad did not steal the money to acquire the property in which his son lives in.
You should never expect anything sensible to come from someone who openly insist that albinism is the result of having coitus during a woman's menses, which results in conception. Ayariga claims he is seeking Mahama's seat as president yet his focus is on other opposition leaders. He managed to get another moron to follow him as running mate. What happened to his fake PhD? Such 1diot speaking bad English.
Sheeeeegeee waaaaaawa. Hassan Ayariga may the almighty Allah punish you and destroy you before the Dec.7 elections. Danduuuruwa
Instead of telling us why Ghanaians should vote for him. He is busy running down Nana Addo and Nduom. So what if Nana lives in his Dad's house? His Dad's did well in life so that his children will not suffer. Ayariga cannot live in his Dad's house because his dad has no house. Ayariga once said one of his achievement is marrying a white woman. Is this guy serious?
Is this Ayariga guy competing with Mahama or Akuffo Addo? i am comfused ? he seems to be attacking Akuffo Addo all the time? For your information Akkufo own houses if you dont know. You are a stooooge of NDC. fOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL
Ayariga's comment is an understatement, how can a man who sold his inherited hotel promise me a factory in my district.He should 1st reclaim and revive his father's hotel. open your eyes !!
