A co-convenor of the #DumsorMustStop vigil says he believes President Akufo-Addo told Ghanaians the erratic power supply was over just to exonerate himself and his government from the mess they have created for the country.
Henry Osei Akoto says the intermittent power outages otherwise known as ‘dumsor’ is rife in the country, and the President’s claim that the challenge was over, is a way to throw dust into the eyes of Ghanaians.
Mr. Akoto, who is working with actress Yvonne Nelson, to embark on a vigil against the ongoing power crisis on May 25 says their checks have revealed that all 16 regions in the country are currently experiencing dumsor, and for the President to say otherwise, indicates he just wants to run from the mess he has created.
“For me I just suspect that he is just trying to lie. He has no access to anything and so he just had to lie in front of cameras so that in a way, he is sort of, to have exonerated himself from the mess, he himself and his government has created for the country,” he told Alfred Ocansey, host of the show Tuesday, May 14, 2024.

President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, during the May Day celebration on Wednesday, May 01, indicated that the erratic power supply bedeviling Ghanaian businesses has abated and will not reoccur.
He said the transformers that encountered challenges to necessitate dumsor have all been fixed.
According to him, the resolution of the challenge led a nationwide stable power throughout the whole of Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
“Issues surrounding the maintenance of the transformers have been resolved, Indeed we have witnessed 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,” he said at his May Day address Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
Meanwhile, the Greater Accra Regional Police Command has invited Yvonne Nelson for a meeting on May 15 over their intended vigil.
