Movie Producer, Socrates Sarfo has taken a jab at actor John Dumelo who is running for Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency in the Greater Accra Region.
John Dumelo has been elected Parliamentary candidate on the ticket of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and will be competing the sitting MP, Madam Lydia Alhassan, in the impending national Parliamentary elections on December 7th this year.
The actor, in an interview with Umaru Sanda on Citi TV, outlined his vision for the Creative Arts industry when elected MP saying he would introduce transformative initiatives to develop the Arts sector.
John Dumelo's commitment to his vision might be solid but not everybody in the Creative Arts industry supports his Parliamentary candidacy.
Socrates Sarfo is one person who thinks the actor doesn't deserve to go to Parliament.
His reason is John Dumelo lacks leadership qualities to become the Ayawaso West Wuogon MP.
"It's not every creative person that is a creative person for us to push him. No! There are creative people who don't have what it takes to be in leadership . . . John Dumelo, as industry, we meet and plan how to fix the industry's challenges but I've not seen him in even one meeting . . . Such a person doesn't have leadership qualities," he asserted.

Ken knows his length and accepts no any political appointment. Indeed, he has quite often been very vocal about why he is in politics and takes delight in saying what he has achieved to help others, especially young students. John Dumelo is an opportunist who believes that with the little exposure to the public by virtue of his popularity as an actor he has all that it takes to be a politician. And I believe such young personalities notably join the NDC because there, they stand the chance to become a minister overnight. That is why we have a whole lot of incompetency which has become a trademark in the NDC administrations.
Some Ghanaians with pull him down attitude... Socrates, you alone have leadership qualities i guess!! How is Dumelo different from other parliamentarians? Please stop this jealousy already and grow up!!!
Are very sure of what you saying? If Ken Agyepong has been a member of parliament for close to 20years, then who doesn't deserve to be in parliament? Socrates, I don't think when you lost your hair, you also lost your mind. Sheer jealousy! Who has prevented from standing on the ticket of your npp party?
Na you deserve to be there.........go! Na Obour deserve hypocrites......... Go and remove him from where he is...should he win go block him from entry!!

Socrates never disappoints with his shallow thinking. He is so myopic with 512 MB memory. He doesn't attend meeting so he lacks leadership skills.
Baaaaaam. You said it all. It is the truth and nothing else.
