Mr Hassan Ayariga has said he will be president of Ghana some day "whether Ghanaians like it or not".
"I'm a very serious guy and I mean business. …It is not human beings alone who make people presidents. The intervention of God [is also important] and I believe it and I have the vision. Whether Ghanaians like it or not, one day Dr Hassan Ayariga will be the president of this country," he said on Wednesday, 12 October.
The 44-year-old politician, who is battling the Electoral Commission for disqualifying him from this year's presidential race, also revealed that he has so far spent about $4.5 million on vehicles for his presidential bid.
Mr Ayariga said he has bought about 30 Pick-up trucks and a number of SUVs including Land Cruisers to help him execute his campaign for this year's polls.
He, therefore, said his disqualification, after having spent that amount of money and more, got him "upset," thus his hurling of abuses at EC Chair Mrs Charlotte Osei, describing her as "stupid" and "foolish" when he spoke to Class91.3FM's Emefa Apawu moments after his fate was announced.
"I'm not a happy man when it comes to things that I do right and somebody will disqualify us," Mr Ayariga said on Wednesday. He has, however, apologised to Mrs Osei and all Ghanaians. He told Accra-based Starr FM that he was a "gentleman" who had a lot of respect for women and mothers.
Mr Ayariga and eleven other aspirants were disqualified from the race over various anomalies. The other disqualified nominees include Dr Edward Mahama of the People's National Convention (PNC); Dr Agyenim Boateng of the United Front Party (UFP); Kofi Akpaloo of the Independent People's Party (IPP); Kwabena Adjei of the Reformed Patriotic Democrats (RPD); and Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom of the Progressive People's Party (PPP).
The others include: Dr Henry Herbert Lartey of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP); Mr Richard Nixon Tetteh (United Development Systems Party); Thomas Ward-Brew of the Democratic People's Party (DPP); Alfred Kwame Asiedu Walker, an independent candidate, and Akua Donkor of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP). Mr Akwasi Addae Odike of the United Progressive Party's nomination is on hold pending a court case.

Is this man normal? How did PNC make this creature a presidential candidate in 2012?
Ayariga you are still using your little Hummer so where are your so called SUVs?
I don't blame Ayariga for his conceitedness and self-importance but PNC who made him a presidential candidate in 2012. Why are we allowing people like him to make a joke about running the affairs of a great country like Ghana when some people were killed because they were thought to have mismanaged the affairs of the country. Nkrumah was a very serious man who died for this country. Now jokers are allowed to mess around in the name of democracy.
IN YOUR DREAMS. CHILD TALKS
Maybe in your Dreams but not here in Ghana. A joker like you can never be President. I will prefer a madman to be President than you.
