Fuel prices: We vote in Ghana, not across the globe – Sam George claps back at Presidential Staffer
Samuel Nartey George, the Member of Parliament Ningo-Prampram was compelled to remind Presidential staffer Nana Hesse Ogyiri of the fact that elections held in the country are within the country’s territorial borders after the latter attempted to blame the increment in fuel prices on the world market. Nana Hesse Ogyiri in a Facebook post said “what is happening to fuel prices across the globe?” Sam George then commented “please we didn’t vote across the globe. We voted in Ghana. Let’s talk” The latest hike in fuel prices has generated conversation on social media with critics accusing the government of not doing much to alleviate the plight of Ghanaians. Some Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) earlier this week increased the prices of fuel at their respective pump stations. Viral photos indicate that Total has increased their prices of petrol and diesel to GH¢6.90. Chief Policy Analyst at Ghana Institute of Public Policy Options, Charles Wereko Brobbey has meanwhile advised the government to use the windfall from the oil revenue to cushion the price. “We’ve been told by the President that we’re a net exporter of oil now. That means that each time oil prices go above the baseline figure of $54 per barrel [that is used for our budgeting for revenue projections], the Government of Ghana is making a windfall from the price increase and as this goes on, we the consumers are suffering from the price increase because of the application of price formula. “So I think if the Government of Ghana wants to be a caring government, it should ensure that all the extra windfall profits which have come from $54 to $85 are applied to moderate the price increase,” he said. —Ghanaweb Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

JUST IN: Wilson Dabuo disowned by Upper East NPP Communication team members
The communication team of the governing New Patriotic Party in the Upper East Region has disowned Wilson Dabuo as a member of their Regional Party Communication team. Apexnewsgh.com reports According to a statement issued and signed by leadership members of the Upper East NPP Regional Communication team on Sunday, November 7, 2021, they have collectively disassociated themselves from what they described as misguided comments made against the affected individuals and invariably the New Patriotic Party on October 26, 2021. Wilson Dabuo in a statement release on October 29, 2021 and copied to the media and national party office with the title “The Deteriorating Plight of the Upper East NPP Communicator, Consequent to a Profiteering Puppet Communication’s Director“ According to the disowned Wilson Dabuo, “Sanusi the Regional Communication Director is one of the biggest disappointments in the scheme of communicators’ disappointments. Communicators just pretend all is well! Under his leadership, which conveniently formed the basis of his description as a Profiteering Puppet, the consistency and regularity with which the remittances came from the presidency, the Vice President and the National security Minister, began to witness a dwindling effect and to some extent could be described as a drought in perpetuity”. He further claimed that “From an earlier remittance of ghc800, it came down to ghc350, then to ghc300 and then to ghc200. In this trend, however, it will take the members three months or more before the latter could be paid. Sometimes, it becomes clearly impossible to find out the source of the money because of its irregularities. You dare not ask for clarity. When you do, he would tag you with suspicion”. He also added “Overall, a disturbing scenario is the under declaration of the President’s total amount of money by Sanusi Issah (from ghc25,000 to ghc15000) to be remitted to the team every month. What about monies that came monthly from National security? And of course, the office of the Vice President? These are exclusive to the many fulfilled promises by party’s individuals from the Region”. However, after making what the regional members of the communication team described as wild and disdainful allegations regarding the plights and activities of the regional Communication outfit. Members of the Upper East Communication team entreat the general public to treat Dabuo’s allegations with utmost disdain. Read the full press release: A Disclaimer to the Allegations Levelled Against the Communication Team of the NPP By Mr. Wilson Dabuo 7thNovember,2021 It has come to the attention of the communication team of the NPP in the Upper East Region that one Mr. Wilson Dabuo made certain wild and disdainful allegations on the 26th October 2021 on various platforms regarding the plight of the regional communication team members. As a communication outfit of the party, we wish to state unequivocally that the said personality is not known to us as a member cannot be said to be speaking for on our behalf. We therefore wish to collectively disassociate ourselves from such misguided comments he made against the affected individuals and invariably the New Patriotic Party. Again, it is important to state that all the sources of remittance he alleged are a complete fabrication hence, should be disregarded. The communication team is of the believe that such illusive statements as espoused by him were borne out of naivety and lack of clear understanding of the modus operandi of the party structures. We entreat the general public to treat his allegations with utmost disdain. The communication team wish to bring to the attention of the media who are stakeholders and partners in the political discourse to desist from engaging him as a member of the communication team as his views do not represent that of the communication team. Counting on your usual co-operation. Thank you.
