Upon receiving the calls in the early hours of Tuesday, 27th August 2024, John Dumelo immediately stepped in, significantly alleviating the dire situation.
In a video shared on social media, a KIA truck loaded with water tanks was parked in the area, with the constituents bringing pans, buckets, and barrels to fetch the water to their homes.
Sharing the video on his social media pages, John Dumelo wrote, “I had a call at 4:30 am from Okponglo that they had no water and they needed my help… I responded. #idey4u #thenextMp.”
“I still doclean-up exercise; I mean, I still provide an absolutely free bus for Legon students or the university students or community students in Ayawaso. It’s just that because we do it so much, I don’t post so much,h but on the grounds, the people know that we are definitely working,” he said.
He continued, “If you are asking if I am not braiding hair and pounding fufu, I still do that, but I don’t post.” Explaining why politicians do this, he said “sometimes when you go to the people that is what they want you to do and can’t say you won’t do it.”
However, he is hopeful to secure victory in the upcoming December 7th general elections. Hear more from in the video below and share your thoughts with us via the comment section.
