The Founder of the All Peoples Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, has revealed that he does not intend to serve as president for two terms if he assumes power; instead, he plans to use his tenure to build state institutions, ensuring that any succeeding president assumes a ceremonial role. 

In an exclusive interview with Etsey Atisu on GhanaWeb TV’s Election Desk, he further revealed his ambition to become the United Nations Secretary-General in the future. 

He explained that he aims to leverage this position to bring about global change. 

“I don’t want to be president for two terms. Let me put it firm. My four-year presidency will build the institutions, and anyone who comes president will be a ceremonial president. Then I will go up and become UN Secretary General. I want to rule the world and change the world," he stated. 

He criticised some leaders for failing to use their influence and status to drive positive change globally, citing widespread poverty in the world and noting that he would bring about transformative change as UN Secretary-General. 

“You see what is happening in the whole world; you see poverty everywhere; you see crime everywhere. You see UN offices not even performing. So when I become the UN General Secretary, I'm going to bring Africa and the whole world together. I will bring them together and change the status quo of life,” he noted.
