A legal counsel to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Kow Essuman, has contested assertions that the former John Dramani Mahama administration inherited the power crisis.

Through a series of posts on X, the president's lawyer has asserted that the power crisis from 2012 to 2016 is a legacy associated with the John Mahama brand and should not be attributed to preceding administrations.

“This is Prez Mahama’s legacy: Mr. Dumsor, Mr. Yentie Obiaaa. These are the things @receiptsguy won’t provide because he is an NDC stooge and operative on this platform. But he forgets that he is not the sole custodian of receipts. We got them too!” he wrote in caption to a popular cartoon video from the dumsor era.

“This video has been reproduced because the NDC led by the Special Aide to Prez Mahama, @joyce_bawah, says Prez Mahama inherited dumsor,” he added.

The president's attorney had earlier refuted a post made by former president John Dramani Mahama's assistant Joyce Bawah Mogtari, which implied that the Mahama administration had inherited a power vacuum.

“Prez Mahama inherited dumsor? Ei! Ok, from who? Himself or Prof Mills? I am sure you don’t even remember why it was called dumsor. Prez Mahama, who said dumsor was an act of God and gave some explanation about some ship cutting cable lines, now says, through his Special Aide, that he inherited dumsor?” he questioned.
