The letter specifies that the proposed vigil would begin at 8:30 a.m. at Revolution Square and conclude at 12 a.m. This indicates a significant and extended duration for the protest, reflecting the seriousness of the concerns being raised by Yvonne Nelson and her supporters.
Yvonne Nelson has actively encouraged public participation in this campaign against ‘dumsor’, urging Ghanaians to join her in voicing their discontent with the current state of power supply. She hopes for a turnout similar to the 2015 ‘dumsor’ rally she organized, which garnered considerable attention and support from the public.
Overall, this development underscores the ongoing efforts of individuals like Yvonne Nelson to leverage public advocacy and peaceful protest as a means to address pressing societal issues. The coordination with the Accra Regional Police Command suggests a collaborative approach to ensure that the planned vigil proceeds smoothly and responsibly, while amplifying the voices of those affected by irregular power supply in Ghana.
