Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson, I’m has taken to social media to rally Ghanaians in a renewed call for action against the resurgent power crisis, known locally as Dumsor.
In a heartfelt letter shared on her X handle, Nelson expressed her profound distress regarding the resurgence of power outages and called for a united effort to demand accountability from the nation’s leaders.
The letter, addressed to fellow Ghanaians, highlighted Nelson’s history as an advocate for positive change, referencing the 2015 DumsorMustStop Campaign that she spearheaded alongside notable personalities such as Kofi Bentil from Imani Ghana, Prince David Osei, D Black, Van Vicker, Efya, Sarkodie, Barima Sidney, and DKB.
Nelson remembered the tough times faced during the first campaign.
She said ‘‘we need to work together again to fix the power problem that keeps coming back, Dumsor has been around for a long time, which is worrying and bad for the country’s growth.”
Despite acknowledging the shifting political landscape and some individuals’ realignments, Nelson stressed the non-partisan nature of the fight against Dumsor.
She called on Ghanaians from all walks of life, including legal professionals, volunteers, and concerned citizens, to join her in pushing for meaningful action to resolve the current power crisis.
The actress said she had extended invitations to key figures from Imani Ghana, including Kofi Bentil and Franklin Cudjoe, seeking their support and collaboration in organizing another DumsorMustStop Vigil. However, she disclosed that she was yet to receive a response regarding their interest in supporting another vigil.
Nelson however appealed to Ghanaians’ sense of patriotism and urged them to unite in advocating for a brighter and more prosperous future for the nation. She encouraged interested parties to reach out to her directly via email or phone to contribute their expertise and support to the cause.
