John dumelo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nActor John Dumelo has disclosed that many have called on him to contest the position of National Youth Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n
The actor who appeared on several campaign platforms of the NDC in the run up to the 2016 general elections, made the revelation on Joy FM\u2019s \u2018Cosmolitan Mix\u2019 Tuesday, July 11, 2017, when host Doreen Andoh put that question to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly speaking I\u2019ve been getting a lot of calls\u201d to run for the position, he stressed.<\/p>\n
However, the 33-year-old who became the first Ghanaian citizen to hit a million likes on Facebook on April 1, 2014, thinks \u201cit\u2019s too early\u201d to talk about this although he acknowledged that the \u201cfeeling is deep\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a youth and I am committed to championing the cause of the youth in this country; whether NDC or the governing NPP [New Patriotic Party]\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the feeling is there. I just want Ghana to develop in the right direction whether NDC or NPP,\u201d Dumelo told Doreen.<\/p>\n

Controversial V8 saga<\/b><\/p>\n
The actor broke his silence on the controversial seizure of his Toyota V8 vehicle said to belong to the state and allegedly gifted him by the administration of former President John Mahama.<\/p>\n
He said he bought the vehicle from \u201csomebody\u201d and \u201cat the point, I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s a government car or it\u2019s not\u00a0a government car\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt some point, some people came\u00a0and said it was government car and said \u2018okay keep the government car’\u201d, he explained.<\/p>\n
He said:\u00a0\u201cWe dealt with it and I bought a new car.\u201d He fell short of disclosing whom he bought the car from.<\/p>\n
According to him, it was not a difficult decision to \u201clet it go\u201d because \u201cit\u2019s just car\u201d which he could have lost in an \u201caccident or anything\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2010 I bought a car; in 2011 I bought another one; in 2013 [and] 2015 I bought another, so it\u2019s something that I can afford,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
John Dumelo started out as a child actor in the early 90s in a movie called Baby Thief. He has since featured in scores of movies including 4Play, The Prince Bride and Holy Secret.<\/p>\n
