Ghanaian movie star, John Dumelo, the ladies’ man, was heard speaking to an Accra based radio station, Starr FM; yesterday, and he urged critics of President John Dramani Mahama to get off his back and give him time to solve the challenges facing the country.
He said “We should just give him [Mahama] time to solve the problems, the problems are there but it's four years, Rome wasn’t built in a day… and if after 2016 the problems are not solved then we know what to do.”
He stressed that the President needs help and not criticism to solve the challenges in the country.
He did also say that, the pressure on the President is too much; so Ghanaians should give him time.
And as we already know, Dumelo did campaign for President Mahama ahead of the 2012 elections as an official ambassador.
And due to his open support for the NDC at the time, he lost several endorsements deals.
“I actually lost some endorsements deals because I did something for the NDC. I don’t regret it at all,” he said.
But as you and I know very well, in Ghana, you can’t just speak your mind and go scot-free, you will be attacked verbally from all angles especially by the Ghana Internet Warriors (GIWa). Some Ghanaians; GIWa found John Dumelo's statement inappropriate and they have indeed reacted to it in a series of Facebook posts.
Below are the ‘missiles’ they shot at the actor and they were hostile, hilarious, tribalistic and perhaps politically motivated at the same time.
