John Dumelo Makes A Big U-Turn | Claim’s NDC Did Not Pay Him to Campaign for them in 2012 & That He is Feeling the Hardship Caused By Dumsor Which Has Led Him to Sack 20 of His Workers

John Dumelo

Ghanaian actor-John Dumelo has not apologised for his recent comment on Dumsor in Ghana–rather, he says he was misconstrued.

In a message he posted on his facebook following the various backlash on GhanaCelebritities.Com and the other social media platforms, John Dumelo he was never paid to feature in that 2012 NDC TV campaign commercial—contrary to what people are saying, .

He also added that, he has laid off 20 of his workers and has had to close two companies because of Dumsor, therefore, he is feeling the hardship the energy crisis has created just like most Ghanaians.

Surely, John Dumelo can’t take the heat which has prompted  the big U-turn—and I think next time, he will calculate his speech before throwing it out there.

Either misconstrued or not, I believe he should have apologized because the long essay doesn’t cut! John doesn’t seem to have BALLS 🙂

Anyway, read his full statement below… 

“To whom is may concern: my sentiments expressed on an accra based fm station have totally been misread and misconstrued. Before I start off, I’m not a spokesperson for any political party neither am I a representative in the social circles.

The tapes are there for you to listen. The audio is available for anyone willing to hear exactly what I said on star fm. I said and I Quote” let’s give the president time to solve the problems, after all, if by 2016 these problems haven’t been solved We know what we will do.

Yes I did a tv commercial for the NDC in 2012 because I loved the message they preached. I must state here that it was purely voluntary. I wasn’t paid for that and I wasn’t expected to be paid for that. I did it for the love of the country.

I also said on star fm that if in 2016, any party preaches what will benefit the country I won’t mind joining that bandwagon. Be it NPP, Cpp or PPP. I have heard all kinds of insults and threats on my life because my statement was completely taken out of context.

I feel what is going on in the country. I have had to lay of 20 of my workers and close down 2 of my companies because of the economic crises. I feel the workers pain. You think I’m happy laying off my workers?

You think I’m happy running a company at a lose? I’m not. As at now I still don’t have a generator in my house. I sweat at night and I’m sure we all do. Let’s give the current gov till 2016 to fix the problems, that’s all I said. I feel what everyone else is going through. The problems have to solved for Ghana to move forward. As for the insults and death threats, it’s made me a better person. Long live Ghana! ‪#‎dumsormuststop.”
