Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has reignited her call for action against the resurgent power crisis, known as Dumsor, and has directed criticism towards Kofi Bentil of Imani Africa, among others, for their alleged reluctance to support the cause due to political affiliations.
In her post, she singled out Kofi Bentil of Imani Africa, among others, who had helped organize a protest with her in 2015 but have since declined to do so now, allegedly due to their affiliation with the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
In a heartfelt letter shared on Twitter, Nelson expressed deep concern over the return of the debilitating power outage issue and called for a united effort to demand accountability from the nation’s leaders.
She also shared a photo from the 2015 protest, highlighting her collaboration with Kofi Bentil and lawyers Nana Kwasi Awuah, with a caption indicating their previous involvement in activism.
Nelson highlighted her past advocacy efforts during the 2015 DumsorMustStop Campaign, where she collaborated with notable personalities to address the crisis.
Despite acknowledging the shifting political landscape, Nelson stressed the non-partisan nature of the fight against Dumsor. She called on Ghanaians from all walks of life to join her in pushing for meaningful action to resolve the current power crisis.
Nelson’s criticism of Kofi Bentil and others underscores her commitment to addressing Dumsor irrespective of political affiliations.
Nelson’s call for another DumsorMustStop Vigil comes at a critical time when Ghana is grappling with the resurgence of power outages, sparking widespread concerns among citizens about its impact on daily life and national development.
As the nation awaits further developments, Nelson’s impassioned plea serves as a rallying cry for collective action and accountability in addressing this pressing issue.
