The Comedian, David Oscar made u-turn to take part in the Dumsor vigil which was held on Saturday to protest current power crisis in country.<\/p>\n

\u201cDumsor must stop, but your constant whining and whimpering would not act as a magic wand. Period!\u201d he wrote on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n
But he turned up at meeting point and joined the other celebrities in the march to vigil grounds.<\/p>\n
He defended his decision to take part in the vigil in spite of his earlier comments saying, “coming here is for me a demonstration of the fact that Ghana is a democratic society. I may not share your notion but it doesn’t mean we’re enemies, it doesn’t mean that I hate you.”<\/p>\n
“It is also to register the fact that after all dumsor affects me too,” he added.<\/p>\n
David Oscar in an interview with citifmonline.com explained that his earlier comment was to condemn what he described as \u00a0“a certain a trend that had started on social media where people were using foul language, insulting the president about dumsor must stop. I thought that was not good.”<\/p>\n
“So if David Oscar says I wasn’t going to jump on that trend, I don’t know how that was interpreted to be that I wasn’t going to come for the vigil.”<\/p>\n
He argued that his comment was misinterpreted adding that “people were not patient to understand what I was trying to say, they just jumped into conclusion and some of the media also twisted the whole story and people started insulting and so I seized making sense to people.\u00a0I never said I wasn’t going to come for this vigil. I only said I wasn’t going to jump on a certain trend where people were being too insulting.”<\/p>\n
