Netizens have descended on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Dumelo, for accusing the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) member of Parliament for the constituency, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, of killing her husband for power.
During a TV3 community watch programme, Dumelo stated that the supporters of the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources were mocking him for taking a state car, hence his anger towards Lydia Alhassan.
He said, “I want to say something. I can see their supporters have been mentioning V8, V8, V8. If that is the case, then it is also fair to say that maybe Lydia is the one who killed her husband to become MP. That is it because if they want to go that tangent, I can also go the same tangent. If they want to go that tangent, I will go the same tangent because this time around, it is boot for boot.”
"You cannot decide to be a bloody widow to be a Member of Parliament."
His comment did not sit well with some social media users, particularly on X, who have descended on the actor-turned-politician.
“John Dumelo no de3 he’s so dumb and empty,” one X user said.
Another added, “A woman painfully lost her husband, yet you foolishly sat there and uttered such nonsense against her just because the crowd called you out on the V8 saga? You’re one of my favourites, but I am seriously disappointed in you!”
“Lydia killed her husband to become MP” - John Dumelo. Your communication skills are very poor.”
“This guy is an uncivilised character. Should we say he (John Dumelo) killed his mother because he wants power? Such an imbecile wants to go to Parliament.”
“Actor John Dumelo made a reckless statement today that Mama Lydia killed her husband to become MP. He further threatened the constituents who don’t support him. The response he got will shock you. Monkey will go to market and won’t return one day.”

John Dumelo went on Citi tv and told everyone he joined NDC because they don’t believe in intellectuals and he’s right, he isn’t one so that’s the party he will join. See the nonsense he spewed after taking Mahama’s V8. This mumu wants to be an MP tueh!
