Movie producer, Socrate Safo, has discouraged fellow filmmaker, John Dumelo from vying for Member of Parliament (MP).

Actor John Dumelo is seeking the mandate of residents of Ayawaso West Wuogon in the 2020 elections to become their MP.

Socrate Safo who is known to be affiliated to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said he does not support John Dumelo’s bid.

According to the movie producer, the current MP, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, is serving the people well.

However, John Dumelo states the incumbent has neglected her constituents and has failed to execute her duties.

“Before I won the primaries, was she working like this? No, as soon as I won my primaries and started working, she is now working extra hard because she has seen that the seat is not for her and I want you to go and tell her that the seat is not for her,” he told MzGee on 3FM.

“She has lost it already. If she can decide to do the roads again or even put gold on the roads, she will lose; that’s the truth,” he added.

Socrate Safo disagreed with the actor and said Dumelo has suddenly become a traffic warden in a bid lure voters to elect him.

“We don’t need a traffic warden please; we need somebody who will go and make the laws for us and somebody who will also lobby for projects for their constituency and Lydia is already doing that,”

“I don’t support him [Dumelo] because I know that from the look on the grounds, Lydia is performing, and if it is not broken, you don’t fix it. Whatever the constituency needs, Lydia is performing”, Socrate Safo said.

The movie producer was recently appointed chairman of the National Film Classification Committee under the Film Authority.
