Captain Planet, a former member of the defunct hiplife group 4×4, is voicing strong support for the newly implemented GH¢1 fuel levy introduced by the current government led by President John Mahama.
He emphasised national development over political loyalty.
Though previously a vocal supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Nana Akufo-Addo, the musician took to social media platform X to declare his willingness to pay the surcharge on petroleum products if it guarantees stable electricity and a stronger economy.
“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. Me I say go pay, what be your problem?” he wrote.

According to Captain Planet, partisan debates should not overshadow practical policies that serve the country’s long-term interests. He urged Ghanaians to view the levy through the lens of nation-building rather than political rivalry.
“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.
The artist further reminded the public that during the NPP’s tenure, citizens paid similar levies without protest, and that consistency should apply regardless of which party is in power.
“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,” Planet further stated.
