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 must be investigated well because how can you build house in Ghana at age 22. You be doing fraudulent business because in Ghana and at age 22 you should be at college. Making 1milluon dollars at age 24 then you must be stealing.

Gabby, you made my day! That is the kind of leader Ghana needs, not those who will stael our money and build hotels in Dubai and boast of their wealth like what this empty barrel is doing ( fire burn thel all) God bless Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo, God bless our homeland Ghana.
Hassan Ayariga who has written on his billboard Dr. Can he explain how and which skuul awarded him the Doctorate degree that he is using. Also he should tell us how he made the one million Dollars at age 24? Is it through cocaine because we have not seen any business he is doing in Ghana. Nana Addo please do not waste your breath on this concert man for monkeys play by size. Talk is cheap indeed.Today there is no debate for him to come and cough since he has been paid to do his master and financier's bid. Shame on you Ayariga, an opposition leader who wants to unseat the incumbent government wasting his energy on the opposition.Too cheap to be taking serious.
@pele so now u want Nana Addo to advise the moron Mahama on how to rule. If Mahama doesn't know how to rule he should better go learn before coming to contest for president. Nana b3ba #changeiscoming
This is the ***barred word*** foo l comment to be passed by a non entity. What so you know about Nana Addo's family. It's the poor who rush to acquire assets the least chance. But check with your own friends. The rich ones never rush for material stuff cos they have seen it all.
OHooooo' this man again,ayari cuff are you mad or what how old are you and i think you are a young man good for not thing.at 22 you own a home may be in a mud home so you talk like class one boy. You are a ***barred word*** because what time you finish your schooling and how long you work to own a house my friend you are not collect.
