Vice President of IMANI, Bright Simons, has taken a jab at Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, after she called for the think tank to join her in organizing another 'dumsor' demonstration.

Yvonne Nelson’s call comes amidst recent intermittent power outages, with many Ghanaians clamouring for a load-shedding timetable from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

In her post on X on Monday, April 22, Ms. Nelson expressed her readiness for IMANI’s outreach for the vigil, citing the organization’s involvement in a similar event in 2015.

She criticized President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), accusing them of taking the country for granted and emphasizing that such neglect should no longer be tolerated.

In response, Mr Simons in a post on X, called out the actress for only wanting to partner with them when it favours her.

Mr Simons said IMANI has been chasing ECG and pursuing other energy-related matters but they have "never seen Ms Nelson amplify any of that work. Ever. Not even a retweet."

He quizzed, "Now, why is that?"
