Actor-turned-politician John Dumelo has stated that if given the choice, he would prioritize politics over business, explaining that the potential to create meaningful change is far greater in public service.
In an interview monitored by News & Vibes on GHone, Dumelo said that while he has experience in farming and business, politics provides a platform to influence policies that can affect the lives of many people. He cited examples such as supporting farmers with irrigation projects and financial aid, initiatives that are beyond the reach of private business ventures.
Dumelo emphasized the interconnectedness of business and politics but noted that business alone cannot achieve the societal reach that politics allows. He believes that political engagement enables broader, systemic solutions that benefit communities at large.
The interview sparked discussions on social media, with some questioning the integrity of politics, while others praised his honesty and acknowledged that politics can indeed operate like a large-scale business in Africa.
