“In humility, we all used fuel prices to campaign , for me and my president and my Party, we apologise because , maybe we were in analogue that time; now we are in digitalisation. Fuel is not under any control and no government can depreciate the prices”. He told Kwabena Owusu
The NPP stalwart emphasized extensively that, “Fuel has now become like COVID-19, just the way we couldn’t control COVID-19 it’s related, thus we can’t control fuel increment ”.
