We shouldn’t politicise fuel prices – Kwadwo Poku

On April 16, 2024, several Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) increased fuel prices, marking the second pricing window of the month.

Investigations by Citi News at various OMC outlets showed a notable rise in fuel prices.

Poku suggested that politicians are likely to politicize fuel prices, but he argued against such a practice.

“I have always entreated everybody that we shouldn’t play politics with petroleum prices!

There are factors that have affected the petroleum prices and they’re mainly and largely commercial.”
