Yvonne Nelson To Lead Another ‘DumsorMustStop’ Vigil
Popular Ghanaian actress, author, and producer, Yvonne Nelson, is set to embark on another demonstration to express her displeasure for the resurgence of the erratic power outages commonly known in the Ghanaian local parlance as ‘Dumsor’. In a press release dated April 30, Yvonne Nelson stated her intentions behind the demonstration. Also emphasizing that it is one way of holding leaders accountable.
“It is with a heavy heart and deep concern for the welfare of our dear nation that I address the resurgence of the power crisis, commonly known as ‘dumsor,’ in Ghana. As a proud Ghanaian and advocate for positive change. I never anticipated the return of such a debilitating issue, let alone another prolonged duration.”
Activism
Yvonne Nelson’s activism against ‘Dumsor’ is not new. Back in 2015, during the tenure of former President John Mahama. The country faced an unpalatable darkness that affected all aspects of the economy. Yvonne, along with other prominent figures in the entertainment industry and corporate Ghana, led a demonstration dubbed ‘DumsorMustStop’. Notable participants included Kofi Bentil of Imani Ghana, Prince David Osei, D Black, Van Vicker, Efya, Sarkodie, Barima Sidney, and DKB.
Now, Yvonne Nelson is back again, demanding accountability from the ruling NPP government to find a solution to the resurgence of ‘dumsor.’ She has extended invitations to key individuals from Imani Ghana, including Kofi Bentil and Franklin Cudjoe. Also seeking their support and collaboration in organizing another DumsorMustStop Vigil. However, she is yet to receive a response regarding their interest in supporting another vigil.
In her own words:
“I am aware that since the 2015 campaign. Some individuals who supported us on the legal front from Imani Ghana have now aligned themselves with the current government. However, the fight against ‘Dumsor’ transcends political affiliations, and we must unite as Ghanaians to address this pressing issue.”
Yvonne Nelson invites all well-meaning Ghanaians, organizations. And legal professionals to join her in pushing for meaningful action to address the power crisis confronting the country.
