Radio show host Nana Romeo has voiced his displeasure over the insufficient backing for the #dumsormuststop vigil organized by Yvonne Nelson and her team.
He condemned Ghanaians for their quietness about the persistent power cuts, implying that their loyalty to their ‘preferred’ political party has suppressed their readiness to express dissatisfaction.
Nana Romeo asserted that Ghanaians need to address the challenges hindering the nation’s development without duplicity.
“We lack honesty in this country. It’s undeniable that power outages affect us all. Nine years ago, people protested against the government, and now, similar challenges have resurfaced. Yet, there’s a reluctance to support the vigil, and it’s disheartening. The poor attendance at Yvonne Nelson‘s vigil reflects this hypocrisy.”
He continued, “This should have been a united effort to draw the government’s attention to the suffering of the people. However the lack of turnout indicates a broader issue in our society. If we don’t hold our leaders accountable, we’ll continue to suffer.”
Yvonne Nelson spearheaded a vigil on June 8, 2024, to draw attention to the nation’s power crisis.
However, in contrast to her earlier events, this vigil experienced low turnout, indicating a troubling indifference among the public.
I rather blame the NDC for the poor attendance. The leadership of the NDC are not strategic and they rather want people to fight the battle for them. The people who participated in the last vigil were not NDC members, they NNP members. They saw it as advantage to make the then government unpopular and make their case look better for Ghanaians. If the NDC failed to see it that way, why should you blame Ghanaians. You want NPP members to join a vigil against their own party and government. No. The leadership of the NDC is just not strategic in its plans.
