The Presidential Candidate of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, launched his manifesto on Sunday night. The manifesto was to outline his vision for Ghana and why Ghanaians should vote for him on December 7, 2024.

Dubbed the Nation’s Manifesto, the manifesto was 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. This comes after the Electoral Commission (EC) cleared him and 12 others to contest the 2024 presidential election.

NDC stole 24-hour economy from us – APC 

The APC presidential candidate alleged that the 24 hour economy initiative belonged to the APC. He said, it did not originate from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

According to the APC’s vice presidential candidate, Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, the party 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. He said the policy only enriches a few at the expense of the entire country.

The APC’s vice presidential candidate said the policy had enriched many middlemen. He further emphasized that the general public continued to suffer under high fuel prices.

He said the APC will swiftly cancel the policy when it wins the 2024 polls.

The Presidential Candidate of the APC further promised that the minimum salary in Ghana when he wins power in the 2024 elections will be GH¢5,000.

He said he will also implement a bi-weekly salary system where people will be paid every two weeks instead of monthly. He also said he will increase the minimum wage from the current GH¢18 to between GH¢150 and GH¢300.

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