Actress Yvonne Nelson has replied a statement a member of the ruling NDC Haruna Alidu, a former Aide to the Chief of Staff in a post branding all celebrities who were above thirty and not married prostitutes.
The leader of the #DumsorMustStop campaign, Yvonne Nelson wrote;
“If what I’m reading from Halidu Haruna is true, then Ooo my goodness! I understand why we are here, in this place as a country!
“I can’t believe a leader, a grown man in this country will say such a thing. He should be ashamed of himself. We have a long way to go GHANA! The movement won’t stop until dumsor stops | watch this space!
She also took a swipe at her fellow comrades in the limelight who had pretended not to see the #DumsorMustStop after trending for days in the media.
“I can’t believe there are Ghanaian celebrities on social media pretending not to have seen OUR movement!
God is watching all of you.
He has retracted his earlier statement in a new post;
“I feel embarrassed by my post against the celebrities. I was condemned both privately and publicly by my friends and party faithful. I respectfully admit that it was an avoidable blunder. I honestly and sincerely regret my action and I ask for forgiveness. To err is human.”
