John Dumelo has been campaigning pretty hard for the NDC in the Volta region, as the November elections increasingly draw near.
However, the actor has become the subject of ridicule on social media, after a picture that surfaced of him donating some educational materials to a school, showed him donating just six mathematical sets to the school.
It sparked outrage and scorn online, as people wondered how he could travel all the way to an SHS and make such a meagre show.
The actor, however, responded to the accusations with a tweet, saying that he did indeed donate to the Nkwantah South SHS, but he donated 100 pieces of mathsets.
Some twitter users still doubted his story, with one pointing out that the photo of the donation showed nobody smiling, as you would expect if they were being presented with such a huge donation.
John, though, seems to have taken the entire thing in good stead.
