Bernard Allotey Jacobs has criticized any political leader who uses the petroleum sector as part of their campaign to ascend to the presidential seat. Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' show, Allotey Jacobs cautioned against politicizing the sector, stating that under previous governments, petrol prices have always gone up. Allotey mentioned this while discussing the campaigns of the leaders of the two main political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He stated emphatically that "if any person tells you he will reduce petrol prices, he is a big liar."
