Former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has challenged President Nana Addo Akufo-Addo’s statement claiming the recent power outages have been resolved.
On May 6, 2024, Anyidoho expressed his disagreement with the President’s assertion via Twitter, stating, “It has not been resolved oooo!!!!,” as he shared a Citi News flyer featuring the president’s initial statement made on May 1.
During his address at the 2024 May Day celebration, President Akufo-Addo declared that the recent power outages, commonly known as ‘dumsor,’ have been resolved thanks to maintenance work carried out on transformers by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
He conveyed his assurance that a reliable power supply has been reinstated nationwide, with no instances of load shedding reported.
“Issues surrounding the maintenance of the transformers have been resolved.
“Indeed, we have witnessed a stable power supply across the country with no load shedding reported anywhere yesterday… I am confident that the unfortunate era of dumsor will not return,” President Akufo-Addo said during his speech at the Workers’ Day observation.
