'IMANI didn't organise any vigils' - Bright Simons on Yvonne Nelson's dumsor vigil proposal

Bright Simons, Vice President of IMANI Africa has dissociated the organization from any direct involvement in the 2015 vigil held against the then government over dumsor - scheduled power outages.

He stressed in a message on X that the vigils organized against the John Dramani Mahama government were organized by pressure groups - that are usually ad-hoc, unlike IMANI which he described as a "permanent institution.".

Nelson's post on X (dated April 22, 2024) called on IMANI specifically to commit to helping organize the protest because of their previous record?

Simons pointed out that IMANI had continued to take the government on over several issues relating to the power supply ecosystem accusing Yvonne Nelson of not amplifying the same.

When an X user pointed out that Yvonne's call was well grounded with the current dumsor citizens were enduring, Simons responded: "Except that IMANI didn't organise any vigils.

This has led to some citizens concluding that ‘dumsor’ is back.

They also insist that there was no need for a timetable
