Ghanaian actor John Dumelo, a staunch supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flag bearer in the 2016 polls, John Dramani Mahama, has revealed that he is dedicating much of his time to farming now.
Mr Dumelo, who won the 2013 Ghana Movie Awards\u2019 Best Actor in a lead role for his movie \u2018A Northern Affair\u2019, was on campaign platforms to solicit votes for his preferred candidate prior to the December 7 election.
However, Mr Mahama lost the elections to the New Patriotic Party\u2019s Nana Akufo-Addo.
Even though he was not happy about the outcome, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) graduate explained: \u201cIt’s elections, somebody wins, somebody loses, and we just have to bury the hatchet and move on. Ghana is for us, let\u2019s all see how best we can develop the country\u2026I\u2019m sad that we (NDC) lost, but I\u2019ve been okay,\u201d he said.
He, however, revealed that he was now taking up farming in addition to the numerous businesses he has set up.
\u201cI\u2019m doing more of farming, I\u2019m doing more of livestock rearing and vegetable farming. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve been up to. Farming is always something I\u2019ve always had love for, it\u2019s just that farming needs a lot of time and these days I have some time on my hands, so that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing now. It\u2019s something I\u2019m going to take up very seriously,\u201d he told Joy News’ MzGee on Thursday, January 26.
He recently announced that he had opened a new fashion\/cosmetic shop in The Gambia for his JMelo range of products.<\/p>\n
