A leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has hit back at the flagbearer of All Peoples Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga.
"I hear an "opposition" presidential candidate has started attacking Nduom and Nana Addo. He says at 72, the latter should not be staying in the house his father built. Is this supposed to be an attack?!? If Nana Addo, one of Ghana's most successful lawyers, were materialistic he would have probably owned 30 houses by now plus others abroad" he wrote on his facebook page.
This follows comments made by Hassan Ayariga against the flagbearers of the NPP, Nana Akufo Addo and the Progressive Peoples Party (PPP), Paa Kwesi Nduom.
Speaking in an interview on an Accra-based radio station, the APC flagbearer described himself as the best candidate to win the 2016 elections.
According to him, “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....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,”
However, Gabby disagrees.
This is what he said on his facebook page said:

What he has done is to improve upon what his father left him, dedicating all his energies to pursuing happiness for the greatest number of people. He is overly generous with whatever wealth he gets. He is not greedy. He does not possess even a credit card and does not have a foreign account.
Yes! He owns three houses, one built by his father (Nima), another built by his mother (Kyebi) and one he built (East Legon), where he lived as MP and Minister. Ghana is blessed to have in 2017 a president who is not driven by material things for himself but for all citizens of his nation. He is honest, he is selfless and he is not corrupt. He is just a simple man, with a big heart and a big mind.

Ayariga is a comedian and Ghanaians should not be worried about the things he say. He is not a serious minded person and want to become a president, how funny
Gabby has rather exposed Nana Addo more. How can he appropriate all the family property to himself leaving his other siblings alone. This is greediness and selfishness. What Gabby refused to tell us is that but for drugs and women, Nana would have built 30houses. He used all his money on drugs and women that is why he is still leaving in his father's. That house at East Legon belongs to his wife and not him. I challenge Gabby to put out the permit of that building for us all to see.
No one should comment on this Ayariga's outdated perception of who a great leader is.That's how it is when money gets into uneducated people pocket.He doesn't worth a comment.We shouldn't entertain him.He is making a ***barred word*** out of us.
Incompetent Mahama thinks he can pay akua donko and ayariga to run Nana Addo down so he Mahama can win election. He is day dreaming
Ayariga is doing the biding of jm but to know avail .Nana Addo leaving in his fathers shows how selfless he is.Man who is not greedy and corrupt like jdm. In eight years in power one cannot even count the number of houses jm has both abroad and locally. Ayariga go tell your pay master that he should be grateful to Nana Addo for paying for his school fees for him.
on your neighbour, on tree top. you gabby insulted Prof Atta mill and called him a poddle. worst is yet to come

Look at this HALF baked bread also talking to Nana because of politics. Ahhhhhhhh, this i d -i- o t of an illiterate ayariga.
THIS AYARIGA GUY BRAHS TOO MUCH. What at all does he have? some 2x4 businesses and he brags like hell. People half his age can buy him plus his assets and so call businesses by issuing him ONE cash cheque. Greedy braggart. Nana Addo is not enthused by materialism like him and the NDC he secretely belongs to. He should go and develop the north in fact his village first like PAA KWESI NDUOM HAS DONE before disturbing our ears with his bogus achievements.
