Election 2024: All Peoples Congress launches campaign in Bawku

Leader and founder of the All Peoples Congress (APC) has announced the setting up of graduate empowerment fund to be accessed by graduates to establish personal businesses.

Launching the APC campaign in Bawku in the Upper East Region, the APC flagbearer said his policies are tailored towards improving the general well-being of Ghanaians through sustainable job creation.

The leader of the All Peoples Congress, Hassan Ayariga was welcomed to a mammoth rally in Bawku where his biological parents hail from.

The party’s choice of venue for the launch of the campaign was to use politics to promote peace in the area which has been relatively absent there.

Speaking to party supporters in the region, Ayariga reiterated some of the policies a future APC government will roll out if voted into power come December 7.

He promised to drastically reduce unemployment rate by establishing a fund graduates can access to start their own businesses.

“I intend to empower our graduates to get good jobs. When you graduate from school, you will not need to go look for job because we will design a graduate financing scheme for students to access,” he said.

Hassan Ayariga believes that the depreciation of the cedi can be restored if critical interventions are made. Adding that an APC government in 2025, will focus on industrialization backed by agriculture to improve the fortunes of the local economy.

He said, “If I am the president, I will ban all forex bureaus, trading in dollars will not happen.”

There shall be no quotation of goods and services in dollars. I will ban pricing of homes and property in dollars as well as schools and restaurants charging fees in dollars. We need to have attitudinal change towards building our economy.

Hassan Ayariga and his entourage also paid courtesy call on the Overlord of Kusaug traditional area, Zugraan Bawku Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II at his palace to seek blessings.

Zugraan Bawku Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II admonished him to deployn a campaign devoid of insults.

Hassan Ayariga and his entourage later advanced their campaign to other constituencies including Bawku West and Binduri also in the Upper East region.
