Dumelo gives cheeky reply to fan who asked him for money amid asset saga

John Dumelo Responds to Fan Asking for Money

Ghanaian politician John Dumelo recently interacted with fans on X. One fan humorously asked him for money. This request came amid ongoing tensions about politicians declaring their assets.

Dumelo's reply made many people laugh in the comments. Some even questioned if he had declared his own assets.

The interaction began when Dumelo greeted his followers with a simple "Hi." A user named Sumaila Zuberu playfully asked if Dumelo had any money to share. He jokingly referred to Dumelo as “Onable,” a lighthearted twist on “Honourable.”

In response, Dumelo reminded the fan that he donated four months' salary to the government. He added that if the fan needed money, he would have to wait until September for his next payment.

Dumelo's comment followed President Mahama's directive for appointees to declare their assets by May 7, 2025. Many commenters wondered if Dumelo had met this deadline.

Some praised his clever response, while others urged him not to disgrace himself or the president. Reactions included:

- @madison_ben5: "Tomorrow is the deadline ooooo. You complete am?"
- @iamedemgabby2: "Hahaha ????. This means you didn’t declare your assets."
- @metamorfos28: "Nice way of dodging billing ????."
- @kojocona: "But Onable, did you declare before the deadline?"

Recently, President Mahama appointed John Dumelo as Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture. This decision sparked excitement and debate due to Dumelo’s background in farming and acting career.
