'Reacting to alarms raised about the fuel shortage causing the power supply challenges, Taylor, in a post on the X platform, urged the NDC to be transparent with Ghanaians and hold the New Patriotic Party (NPP) accountable for the crisis."NDC is not Father Christmas. Let them know the truth and prepare a schedule for them. NPP created this situation we are in now, and let no one be scared to let Ghanaians know the truth. We want the schedule.

Thank you," Taylor wrote.His comments follow a warning by John Jinapor, the Member of Parliament for Yapei Kusawgu, about the critical state of the country’s fuel reserves. Jinapor disclosed that the fuel stock had dropped to alarming levels, posing a severe threat to the stability of the power supply.“I have bad news for you. The confirmation we are getting is that we have only five hours of fuel stock.

If you look at heavy fuel oil and diesel fuel, we don’t have up to two days, and so in two days’ time, we are likely to run out of fuel,” Jinapor stated.He blamed the outgoing NPP administration for failing to secure adequate fuel supplies, leaving the incoming government with limited resources to manage the crisis.

“This administration has not ordered any fuel as we speak, and it takes, on average, four weeks for the fuel to arrive and four weeks for the fuel to be treated, and so we are in a very serious situation,” he explained in an interview with Joy News.Jinapor further revealed that during the transitional phase, the outgoing government had assured the incoming administration that fuel arrangements were in place.

However, subsequent checks contradicted those claims.“Today, right after President Mahama assumed office and I served on the transition, my checks indicate that we do not have fuel that can cater for even two days, and so clearly we have a major, major problem,” he emphasized.
