The Presidential Candidate of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga on Sunday night launched his manifesto to outline his vision for Ghana and why Ghanaians should vote for him on December 7, 2024.
Dubbed the Nation’s Manifesto, the manifesto is based on the mantra “Transforming Ghana and Restoring Hope.”
The event took place at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Auditorium on Sunday night [Sept 22, 2024]
Mr Ayariga is the latest Presidential Candidate to launch his manifesto after the Electoral Commission (EC) cleared him and 12 others to contest the 2024 Presidential election last Friday.
NDC stole 24-hour economy from us - APC
The All People’s Congress (APC) presidential candidate alleged that the much-touted 24-hour economy was an initiative that belonged to the APC and did not originate from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to the vice presidential candidate of the APC, Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, the APC introduced the policy as far back as 2016.
“The 24 Hour Economy was introduced by Hassan Ayariga in 2016 and 2024. It is not for the NDC. It is a stolen manifesto policy by the NDC,” he said.
Gold for oil is a “scam” - APC
The All People’s Congress (APC) also described the government's “Gold for Oil” initiative as a “scam and fraudulent” policy that enriches a few at the expense of the entire country.
The APC's vice presidential candidate said the policy had enriched many middlemen, while the general public continued to suffer under high fuel prices, gaining nothing from its natural resources.
He said the APC will swiftly cancel the policy when it wins the 2024 polls.
Hassan Ayariga promises GH¢5,000 minimum salary
When it got to his turn to speak, the Presidential Candidate of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga promised that the minimum salary in Ghana when he wins power in the 2024 elections will be GH¢5,000.
Mr Ayariga said he will also implement a bi-weekly salary system where people will be paid every two weeks instead of monthly.

According to him, salaries in Ghana were appalling and could not even take care of people’s basic needs.
