Ursula Owusu-Ekuful compared the current power situation to the extended crisis experienced during former President John Dramani Mahama's administration, which lasted for almost four years.

The real issue was the extended period of darkness we faced for four years with no end in sight. That was dumsor, but the current one is light off," she said.
