Yvonne Nelson is disappointed in the statement a member of the NDC Haruna Alidu posted on his
Facebook
in the after of her Dumsor Campaign started trending. The actress
registered her disappointment in a series of social media posts. She
wrote:
“If what I’m reading from Halidu Haruna is true, then Ooo my goodness! I understand why we are here, in this place as a country!
“I can’t believe a leader, a grown man in this country will say
such a thing. He should be ashamed of himself. We have a long way to go
GHANA! The movement won’t stop until dumsor stops | watch this space!
She also took a swipe at her fellow comrades in the limelight who had
pretended not to see the #DumsorMustStop after trending for days in the
media.
“I can’t believe there are Ghanaian celebrities on social media pretending not to have seen OUR movement!
God is watching all of you.”
Meanwhile, the former Aide to the Chief of Staff of the ruling government has retracted his earlier statement in a new post;
“I feel embarrassed by my post against the celebrities. I was
condemned both privately and publicly by my friends and party faithful. I
respectfully admit that it was an avoidable blunder. I honestly and sincerely regret my action and I ask for forgiveness. To err is human.”

“Ghanaians wake up! We seriously don’t deserve this,” the actress stated.
In an interview on BBC Friday, she said “You know sometimes when I’m coming home, I’m scared, I’m scared
of going home because the light is going to be off so its pretty
alarming…the whole dumsor situation is affecting everything, its
affecting productivity in Ghana and something has to be done.”
When asked about her recent tweet, she said “you know
there are so many guys on twitter and most of these guys are in
schools, they cant even learn because of dumsor, people are writing
exams, they cant learn as well. Businesses are closing down, companies
are laying off workers.
She noted: “We can’t function as a nation and we need electricity to function”.
Yvonne’s comments came days after her friend and fellow actor, John Dumelo, called on Ghanaians to be patient with President John Mahama because Rome was not built on a day.
She added that, “I agree with him (John Dumelo) but we all need patience
but then the government promised us they were actually sending some
power barges to help the situation at the end of last month and today is
May 1 so its pretty much of full of lies. They keep telling us lies and we are not seeing any result.”
She said “as a leader he needs to deliver, we needs result and he has to fix this whole situation and this has to be fixed.
They are just lying to us. They are just taking Ghanaians for granted,” she noted.
