Despite his recent appointments as a Member of Parliament and Deputy Minister designate for Food and Agriculture, Ghanaian actor and politician John Dumelo has vowed to promote the creative arts sector.
Speaking on February 6, 2025, at the opening of Celestine Donkor’s 11th Celestial Praiz performance, John expressed his admiration for the gospel singer’s work and pledged to always provide her with the assistance she needs:
He stated that he will continue to make himself available for creative arts endeavors notwithstanding his participation in politics and agriculture.
“Despite the fact that I am an MP now and I am in the Agric Ministry, I still will not forget where I came from which is the arts sector and I will always be an arts person. I will always be a creative person and if we don’t develop our own who else will develop it for us,” he said at the programme which was held at Tang Palace in Accra.
He went on to say that the creative sector makes a significant contribution to the national economy, despite the fact that some people ignore it.
The well-known actor was named the Deputy Minister Designate for Food and Agriculture yesterday. Many people had predicted that he would hold a ministerial position in the ministry of tourism, culture, and the creative arts before he was nominated.
John Dumelo has been heavily involved in agriculture for a number of years and has encouraged young people to take the business seriously.
He now represents the seat of Ayawaso West Wuogon as a Member of Parliament.
