Actress and activist Yvonne Nelson has confirmed her participation in the upcoming #DumsorMustStop protest on Saturday, June 8, 2024, despite struggling with health issues. The protest, which will begin at Legon and end at Tetteh Quarshie, aims to pressure the government to provide stable power for Ghanaians.
Nelson, who has been a vocal critic of the government’s handling of the energy crisis, took to Twitter to express her determination to join the protest. “I’m not in the best of health, but I’m determined to join the #DumsorMustStop protest on Saturday,” she tweeted. “I’ll walk the route, no matter what. Even if only a handful of people join me, I remain committed to demanding accountability and improvements in governance.”
The actress and activist has been a driving force behind the #DumsorMustStop campaign, which seeks to end the persistent power outages that have plagued Ghana for years. Despite facing cyberbullying and personal attacks, Nelson remains resolute in her mission to hold the government accountable for its failures.
“The personal attacks and insults reflect the misery of the attackers,” Nelson said in a statement. “I urge Ghanaians to think critically and put aside tribal biases when discussing national issues. Let’s focus on building a better Ghana for all.”
Nelson’s dedication to the cause has inspired many Ghanaians to join the protest, which promises to be a peaceful and lawful assembly. The protest is expected to draw thousands of people from all walks of life, who will march through the streets of Accra to demand an end to the energy crisis.
The #DumsorMustStop protest is part of Nelson’s ongoing campaign against poor governance in Ghana. Despite facing challenges and obstacles, the actress and activist remains committed to fighting for a better future for all Ghanaians.
