Controversial New Patriotic Party (NPP) sympathizer, Kwame Asare Obeng widely known as A-Plus has mocked the ruling party after petroleum prices in the country were increased.

The former musician who fervently campaigned for the NPP and the New Patriotic Party in the run up to the 2016 election ridiculed the Akufo-Addo led government for their inability to stabilize the country's currency. 

The cedi has recorded massive losses against the dollar, the latest being last week where it hit GH¢4.97 to the dollar.

It followed a July fall where it traded at GH¢4.8250 to the dollar depreciating cumulatively, by 5.3 per cent in the first six months, compared to 3.3 per cent in the first half of 2017 despite significant increments of weekly dollar sales to local banks in the country.

This development has resulted in the increment in all petroleum products has sent unrest among Ghanaians who have lashed out at the ruling government.

Vice President, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia while giving an account of the first 100 days in office of the NPP government indicated that the government has been able to ‘arrest’ the fall of the cedi as well as made some 103 achievements.

He said the free fall of the cedi has been arrested, and the keys given to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for safekeeping.

Commenting on the rise in fuel prices, A plus in a Facebook post said petroleum prices will expose the government when the cedi breaks jail.

“When the arrested cedi breaks jail, petroleum prices will expose you!!! I’m laughing like a killer,” while sharing a photo to support his claims of the increase in fuel,” he said in a Facebook post.
