Renowned Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson has called on Think Tank, IMANI Ghana to partner for a second protest over the recent erratic power cuts in the country.
The movie producer in a tweet on April 22 expressed her preparedness to partner with IMANI Ghana for the second time to stage a massive demonstration against the Akufo-Addo government for the consistent power outages in the country.
The actress was the lead organiser in a massive protest against the John Mahama government which brought together many celebrities over ‘dumsor’ back in 2015.
In her tweet, Yvonne Nelson disclosed that her 2015 ‘dumsor’ protest was supported by IMANI Ghana and wants same to be done against the current government.
Imani Ghana, can we organize another vigil? Ive been waiting for you to reach out like you did years back. ( your team made our demo a success ) Im reaching out myself. The NPP and its leadership @NAkufoAddo have taken Ghanaians for granted . #DUMSORMUSTSTOP

Ghanaians have recently experienced consistent ‘dumsor’ across the country with many calling for a load-shedding timetable despite government’s denial that ‘dumsor’ is not back.
Other Energy experts have also lashed out at government for its poor management of the situation.
Special aide to former President John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari has also criticised government for “failing to take responsibility for the power crisis (Dumsor) in the country.”
Commenting on the energy challenges on her X platform, she said” These power outages must be condemned especially when those responsible refuse to accept responsibility for their own actions that have led to the consequences we are experiencing.
“Untold hardships, unemployment, corruption and stealing, land grabbing and now complete darkness and a total disregard for our basic needs!
“They rode on the back of propaganda to campaign. Where is the excess of power we didn’t need or require! Can we have it now! Won the election on lies, have governed with lies and propaganda and now trying hard to hoodwink us, the darkness has exposed them.
“This Akufo Addo/Bawumia administration will go down as the worst in the history of this country. Ghana deserves better!”
