The musician/comedian known in real life as Benson Nana Yaw Oduro
Boateng, was then signed by GOIL as its ambassador between 2011 and 2012
which made him receive free fuel and other products from the oil
marketing company.
Speaking on the Friday edition of ATINKA FM’s morning show dubbed AM Drive,
Funny
Face revealed he could visit any of the GOIL filling stations in the
country and purchase fuel or lubricants for his ‘modest’ vehicle and
sometimes for his friends, free of charge.
However,
Funny
Face said a top management official of the company called him one day
to inform him of their decision to end his contract for no apparent
reason.
Three years on, the comedian said he suspects GOIL realized his new
vehicle which has a higher fuel consumption, would increase the
frequency with which he draws fuel hence the cancellation of the
contract.
Touching on the raging energy crisis confronting the country, the
comedian said he was saddened by the development and indicated plans to
mobilise celebrities to demonstrate against the poor handling of the
situation by the government.
Although he fell short of stating a date for the demonstration, the
comedian called on superstars and other public figures in communities to
come out to vent out their frustration to authorities responsible for
solving the crisis.
