Once again politics and partisanship colouring the utterances of a high profile personality and how they react to #DumsorMustStop
Abeiku Santana recently came out to announce he’ll be standing for MP on the NDC ticket, so these pronouncements should not be very surprising. Although for someone hoping to stand for the legislature I’d have expected a better analysis than ‘they do not understand the issues’.
That’s what he said in an interview with Citi.
“Their demonstration will not make any difference. You can demonstrate that you are eating too much rice and you want yam, it is your right, but at the end of the day, if you don’t appreciate the issues, I don’t think anyone is going to take you serious”
Issues? We do not have electricity, therefore businesses are dying and life has been made harder. I don’t think those issues are at all difficult to comprehend.
He also went for the point that others have raised already, that they’re doing nothing to help the industry they’re a part of.
“Have they made any contribution or sent a memorandum to Parliament suggesting how the law should be made that will safeguard local contents?
If they want to sacrifice, they should do something that will become a living testimony for others to see that they were the people who fought for the industry so that they will be remembered.
(They’ve allowed) foreign soap operas to take over our televisions. Can’t you see that they are very, very excuse me to say, shallow?
They don’t understand issues. If you want to fight for something, fight for one that will benefit you.”
I’m sure an end to dumsor would not in any way benefit those in the creative arts industry AT ALL.
Anyway, despite numerous obstacles, the #DumsorMustStop vigil comes off later today.
I am literally shaking my head because i cannot believe these statements. Like my father said…. ” this country is doomed”. Idiocy and selfishness has permeated every fibre of society.
Abeiku Santana, if you do understand the issues surrounding the dumsor dumsor why dont you educate us all then? I believe there are ppl like me who needs that education in GH. ns3mfo biaa na mo keka.
Am not surprise because the majority of the NDC govt and supporters are all square pegs in round holes including Abeiku. They only fighting for their bellies and not for the interest of our dear Nation. Yvonne and the rest of the organisers I SALUTE YOU ALL.
Now my phone has added dumsor its the dictionary. When I type the letter d the first option it gives me is dumsor. ???
