Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has taken to social media once more to rally her fellow citizens in addressing the recurring power crisis, locally known as Dumsor.
In a heartfelt letter shared on Twitter, Nelson expressed profound concern over the resurgence of the debilitating power outage issue and urged for collective action to hold the nation’s leaders accountable.
The letter, directed to her fellow Ghanaians, highlighted Nelson’s history as an advocate for positive change, referencing the 2015 DumsorMustStop Campaign that she led alongside notable personalities such as Kofi Bentil from Imani Ghana, Prince David Osei, D Black, Van Vicker, Efya, Sarkodie, Barima Sidney, and DKB.

Nelson reflected on the challenges encountered during the initial campaign and underscored the necessity for another united effort to address the persistent power crisis. She underscored the prolonged duration of Dumsor, deeming it alarming and detrimental to the nation’s advancement.
While acknowledging the evolving political landscape and some individuals’ realignments, Nelson emphasized the non-partisan nature of the fight against Dumsor. She called upon Ghanaians from diverse backgrounds, including legal professionals, volunteers, and concerned citizens, to join hands in advocating for concrete action to resolve the ongoing power crisis.
The actress revealed that she had reached out to key figures from Imani Ghana, including Kofi Bentil and Franklin Cudjoe, seeking their support and collaboration in organizing another DumsorMustStop Vigil. However, she noted that she was yet to receive a response regarding their interest in backing another vigil.
