Only illiterates blame Akufo-Addo for the rising fuel prices – Mr. Logic
The continuously rising cost of fuel in the country has been met with mixed reactions as section
Ghanaians believe the hike in the fuel prices is due to the government’s incompetence or mismanagement whiles others claim is a global crisis that every economy is enduring.
However, Chairman of Songwriters Association of
Ghana, Emmanuel Barnes, popularly known as Mr. Logic, believes that people who attribute the hike in fuel prices to
President Nana Akufo-Addo are illiterates.
He believes the perception that the President should be held responsible for the incessant rise in fuel prices in the country is a conversation that merits less attention.
Speaking on Hitz FM’s Matter Dey political talk show, “I was listening to a certain radio station this morning where I heard people saying ‘Nana Addo is a liar, a thief and a wicked man’, all these people are illiterates – people who do not read nor do any research,” he told Kofi Hayford.
“If Europe is buying one gallon for 11 euros, [equivalent to GHS 88 per gallon], imagine what would happen if a litre is sold at GHS 88 in Ghana – people will go on hunger strike, some will go for demonstration, some will be thinking of unnecessary things because the price a litre has gotten to that level,” he added.
