The young man also wondered why people have issues with him calling out President John Mahama and his administration over recent power cuts.
"Why do you people complain that Mahama is not responsible? Is he not the one who appoints the Minister of Energy? When Akufo-Addo was in power were we experiencing this? Without light how do we live", he said with a sad look.
At the time of writing this report, the video had raked in over 2,000 likes and 1,000 comments.
