Captain Planet declares support for GHC1 fuel levy; urges Ghanaians to pay
Ghanaian musician and member of the now-defunct 4×4, Captain Planet, has announced his support for the newly introduced GH¢1 Fuel Levy by the John Mahama administration.
In a post shared on X on June 4, 2025, Captain Planet, who has been a firm supporter of the NPP government and the Akufo-Addo administration, noted without hesitation that he is prepared to pay the GH¢1 fee charged on petroleum products to enable him to enjoy stable electricity and a good economy.
He explained that Ghanaians ought to be concerned about the development of the country rather than politicising every issue.
“I paid all these taxes on a single product for the NPP government, so how much is GH¢1 to help me enjoy stable electricity? Put politics aside, let’s build the nation. I say go pay, what’s your problem?
“I promise to pay the 1 cedi fuel levy so I can enjoy my stable electricity. We’re building a nation, not a political party. All hands on deck,” he said.
Captain Planet further called on Ghanaians to pay the new levy just as all other levies were paid during the tenure of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“The same way we paid all those levies to the NPP government, we should be able to pay for the NDC government too for a better Ghana,” he added.
