Dr. Hassan Ayariga, Presidential Candidate of the All People’s Congress (APC) has promised Ghanaians a daily minimum wage of between GHC150.00 to GHC300.00 and a monthly minimum salary of GHC5,000.00 if elected as president of Ghana come December 7 2024.
According to him under his stewardship as president salaries will be paid every two weeks under an industrialization policy that creates jobs for the youth and ensures low cost goods and services in the country.
The APC Founder and Leader made the pledge on Friday when he paid a special visit to the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr. Nuhu Shaributu to pray with him at the Kanda Central Mosque and also inform him of his 2024 Presidential ambition and highlight his manifesto policies as well as seek his blessings for good health, long life and peaceful campaigning in all the sixteen regions of the country.
Accompanied by his Parliamentary Candidate for the area, and scores of party functionaries, Dr Ayariga told the packed mosque that a future APC government would ensure free port services as the current arrangement of exorbitant charges at Ghana’s ports are driving importers to Togo to the disadvantage of the country.
As the first Muslim presidential candidate at age 40, in 2012, Dr. Hassan Ayariga appealed to the huge crowd that came for prayers to make the realization of his dream of becoming president a reality in the upcoming 2024 election to fulfil his promises to Ghanaians.
Already, Hassan Ayariga has proposed the need to have a national manifesto which will be a guide for all political parties and independent candidates in Ghana.
In a recent interview he noted that political parties’ manifestos are only written to lure people to vote them into power but once they are voted for the narrative changes.
“Because those we’ve given leadership were off the road, the promises they make with their manifestos were facts used promises, they use that to lure Ghanaian people into believing their manifestos and they are voted. And then when they are voted into power they change their ways”, he said.
He suggested the need to have a national manifesto which will contain the concerns of everyone including political actors, experts, academia etc as a national developmental plan.
“We will craft this national development plan which will last for eight years. It should not be more than eight years but maybe a maximum of ten years because things keep changing over the period,” he said.
Dr. Ayariga believes that this will encourage a well-planned governance system and that plan will be followed by all, even when there is a change of political party or government.
