One-time musician and now a political activist, Kwame Asare Obeng, better known by his stage name A Plus, has strongly criticized President Akufo-Addo’s government for the recent power outages experienced across the country.
A Plus
shared a 2012 tweet on his Facebook page in which Akufo-Addo, the opposition
leader at the time, criticized the ruling administration for power disruptions.
He reminded President Akufo-Addo of his previous
position on frequent power outages and contrasted it with the country is current problems.
He stressed in his Facebook post
that the president has not lived up to the expectations placed on him as a
leader, especially when it comes to resolving the nation’s ongoing power
shortages.
“Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo you
shared this in 2012. Look at what is happening now and give it a name. You have
disappointed even your enemies; your main opponents who said you would fail as
president didn’t know you’d be this worse,” A Plus wrote.
Popular
actress Yvonne Nelson has also chided the government for the recent intermittent
power outages across the country.
The actress in a tweet on X called on President
Akufo-Addo’s government to find a lasting solution to the power outages
experienced in the country.
“Mr President, DUM SOR is DUM SOR whether it’s for an
hour, 12 hours, 24hrs or every day. FIX IT!” she tweeted on March, 12.
Several
parts of the country have experienced total darkness intermittently in recent
times.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in a social
media post revealed that 630 distribution transformers in communities across
its operational zones are currently above capacity due to increased power
consumption.
The ECG said this was one of the reasons for the
intermittent power supply and cautioned Ghanaians to brace themselves for more
power outages during peak demand hours between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.
