The founder of All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga has agreed with the government’s decision to pay the spouses of the president.
According to Mr. Ayariga, the spouses have a stake in building the nation.
“They have contributed so much to the development of the nation. Most of them, one way or the other, assist the President in decision-making but it is just because we do not see what they do, we do not get to appreciate the role they play.
“Spouses play a key role in governance through the advice they offer to their partners even before it gets to Cabinet for deliberation, therefore, paying them salaries is in order. They are making some sacrifices, the trauma the President has to go through will affect the family so I do not see anything wrong when the state decides to pay them,”.
He made these statement in an interview with the daily graphic.
