The vigil tagged"DumsorMustStop" got some celebrities warding off any
interestin part-taking in it for various reasons.
One of them who strongly disapproved of his colleagues is rapper, Edem.
In an interview with K.O.D, he voiced his opinion saying"I think that
for starters, it will be hypocritical for anybody to say thatthey
don't have concerns about thestatus of energy in the country butI'm of
the school of thought that we as young people, when we havea
reservation; our approach sometimes makes it look as if it's abad
decision and so for me, people have the right, freedom of association
to be able to go on but I'm saying the approach can be different where
it is formal and planned because this took off fromTwitter and all the
media articles of it send different signals to the various people who
are various leaders in places but if it was moreplanned where a set of
artistes were called, we sat together and we said we want to make this
a landmark."
He stressed the need for them to have petitioned the president rather
than taking it on social media; "When this started it came off as a
tweet…I'm saying it has sent out wrong signals in different
directions. If I'm a celebrity and I want to be part of it, I want to
see a petition go out to the president".
Finally, he asserted that "It won't spoil anything for another
pressure group to lobby, that's all I'm saying. People have freedom of
association.
They can go out and do whatever they want to do but I'm saying that to
high level and regards for all of us as celebrities…If we want to do
it, weshould do it in a way which is very professional so the elderly
will respect us more.
I'm not taking wing from Yvonne Nelson and Sarkodie who have taken
off. I stillthink people have their right.".
