Fuel Prices Have Exposed The Incompetency Of The NPP – A Plus
Controversial on-air personality, Kwame Asare Obeng aka A-Plus has taken a swipe at the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) about recent rise in fule prices.
According to the musician, the rise in fuel prices recently have exposed the incompetence of the Nana Addo led NPP.
On Tuesday September 18, some fuel stations across the nation increased their prices to over GH¢5 per litre.
A litre of diesel and petrol is now selling at GH¢5 18 pesewas; and GH¢5 14 pesewas, respectively.
Background
Prior to the 2016 elections, Nana Akufo Addo who was then the Presidential candidate for NPP
described the decision by then NDC government to increase the prices of petroleum products, in the midst of the ongoing, crippling energy crisis, as insensitive.

He said at a time when Ghanaians are reeling under the effects of three years of ‘dumsor’ and
resorting to the use of generators to produce power the last thing a government will do is to
increase fuel prices.
Nana Addo further stated that such development meant there was no end to the difficulties of the ordinary Ghanaian.
Meanhwile, the Vice President, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia during the rendering of account
to Ghanains after the first 100 days in office of the NPP government in his speech indicated
that the government has been able to ‘arrest’ the fall of the cedi as well as made some 103 achievements.
He said the free fall of the cedi has been arrested, and the keys given to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for safekeeping.
Considering all that and the current increase in fuel prices A Plus believes that the increment
has exposed the incompetency of the ruling NPP government.
A plus, in a Facebook post said petroleum prices will expose the government when the cedi breaks jail.
“When the arrested cedi breaks jail, petroleum prices will expose you!!! I’m laughing like a killer.”
He wrote, while sharing a photo of the currently displayed prices of fuel at some fueling stations.
